Three plane mirrors form an equilateral triangle with each side of length $L$. There is a small hole at a distance $l > 0$ from one of the corners as shown in the figure. $A$ ray of light is passed through the hole at an angle $\theta$ and can only come out through the same hole. The cross section of the mirror configuration and the ray of light lie on the same plane.
Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
$(A)$ The ray of light will come out for $\theta=30^{\circ}$, for $0 < l < L$.
$(B)$ There is an angle for $l=\frac{L}{2}$ at which the ray of light will come out after two reflections.
$(C)$ The ray of light will $NEVER$ come out for $\theta=60^{\circ}$, and $l=\frac{L}{3}$.
$(D)$ The ray of light will come out for $\theta=60^{\circ}$, and $0 < l < \frac{L}{2}$ after six reflections.

$A$ point source of light moves in a straight line parallel to a plane table. Consider a small portion of the table directly below the line of movement of the source. The illuminance $E$ at this portion varies with its distance $r$ from the source as:

Assertion: By roughening the surface of a glass sheet,its transparency can be reduced.
Reason: Glass sheet with a rough surface absorbs more light.
