As shown in the figure,a particle is placed at $O$ in front of a plane mirror $M$. $A$ man at $P$ can move along the path $PY$ and $PY'$. Which of the following is true?

  • A
    For all points on $PY$,the man can see the image of $O$.
  • B
    For all points on $PY'$,the man can see the image,but for no point on $PY$ can he see the image of $O$.
  • C
    For all points on $PY'$,he can see the image,but on $PY$ he can see the image only up to a distance $d$.
  • D
    He can see the image only up to a distance $d$ on either side of $P$.

$A$ point source is placed at coordinates $(0,1)$ in the $xy$-plane. $A$ ray of light from the source is reflected on a plane mirror placed along the $X$-axis and perpendicular to the $xy$-plane. The reflected ray passes through the point $(3,3)$. What is the path length of the ray from $(0,1)$ to $(3,3)$?

When a plane mirror is placed horizontally on a level ground at a distance of $60 \ m$ from the foot of a tower,the top of the tower and its image in the mirror subtend an angle of $90^\circ$ at the eye. The height of the tower will be.....$m$.

An object $O$ is placed between two parallel plane mirrors $M_1$ and $M_2$. The distance of the object from $M_1$ is $6\,cm$ and from $M_2$ is $15\,cm$. The position of the $4^{th}$ image formed by mirror $M_1$ is:

$A$ point source of light,$S$,is placed at a distance $L$ in front of the centre of a plane mirror of width $d$ which is hanging vertically on a wall. $A$ man walks in front of the mirror along a line parallel to the mirror,at a distance $2L$ as shown below. The distance over which the man can see the image of the light source in the mirror is:

The separation between the screen and a plane mirror is $2r$. An isotropic point source of light is placed exactly midway between the mirror and the screen. Assume that the mirror reflects $100\%$ of the incident light. Then the ratio of illuminances on the screen with and without the mirror is
