  • A
    If the rays incident on the mirror are diverging
  • B
    If the rays incident on the mirror are converging
  • C
    If the object is placed very close to the mirror

$A$ small plane mirror is placed at the centre of a spherical screen of radius $R$. $A$ beam of light is falling on the mirror. If the mirror makes $n$ revolutions per second,the speed of the reflected light spot on the screen will be:

Two plane mirrors $M_1$ and $M_2$ have a length of $20 \, m$ each and are $10 \, cm$ apart. $A$ ray of light is incident on one end of mirror $M_2$ at an angle of $53^{\circ}$. The number of reflections the light undergoes before reaching the other end is

$A$ ray of light travelling in the direction $\frac{1}{2}(\hat{i}+\sqrt{3} \hat{j})$ is incident on a plane mirror. After reflection,it travels along the direction $\frac{1}{2}(\hat{i}-\sqrt{3} \hat{j})$. The angle of incidence is: (in $^{\circ}$)

Assertion : The image of a virtual object due to a plane mirror is real.
Reason : If the rays seem to be converging at a point behind a plane mirror,they are reflected and they actually meet in front of the mirror.

In the image given below,the total number of reflections of the light ray before it exits the system will be
