Two plane mirrors $AB$ and $AC$ are inclined at an angle $\theta = 20^{\circ}$. $A$ ray of light starting from point $P$ is incident at point $Q$ on the mirror $AB$,then at $R$ on mirror $AC$,and again at $S$ on $AB$. Finally,the ray $ST$ goes parallel to mirror $AC$. The angle which the ray makes with the normal at point $Q$ on mirror $AB$ is: (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ ray of light is incident at $50^{\circ}$ on the middle of one of the two mirrors arranged at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ between them. The ray then touches the second mirror,gets reflected back to the first mirror,making an angle of incidence of.........$^{\circ}$

Two plane mirrors are inclined to each other such that a ray of light incident to the first mirror $(M_1)$ and parallel to the second mirror $(M_2)$ is finally reflected from the second mirror $(M_2)$ parallel to the first mirror $(M_1).$ The angle between the two mirrors will be......$^o$

An object is fixed at the bottom of a vessel and water is filled in the vessel up to a height of $10 \,cm$. $A$ plane mirror is placed at a height of $7 \,cm$ from the surface of water in such a way that its reflecting surface faces the water. The distance of the image from the mirror is (Refractive index of water,$n=1.33$). (in $\,cm$)

The light rays from an object have been reflected towards an observer from a standard flat mirror. The image observed by the observer is:
