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
    $20$
  • B
    $30$
  • C
    $40$

Light of wavelength $5000 \,\mathring{A}$ falls on a plane reflecting surface. What are the wavelength and frequency of the reflected light? For what angle of incidence is the reflected ray normal to the incident ray?

Assertion : If the angle between the two plane mirrors is $72^o$ and the object is asymmetrically placed between the two mirrors,then $5$ images of the object will be formed.
Reason : For a given system of mirrors,the total number of images formed due to successive reflection is equal to either $\frac{360^o}{\theta}$ or $\frac{360^o}{\theta} - 1$ accordingly as $\frac{360^o}{\theta}$ is odd or even respectively.

What is reflection of light? Explain the laws of reflection.

$A$ ray of light makes an angle of $10^o$ with the horizontal above it and strikes a plane mirror which is inclined at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal. The angle $\theta$ for which the reflected ray becomes vertical is......$^o$

$A$ 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 $^{\circ}$)
