If $\hat{n}_1, \hat{n}_2$ and $\hat{t}$ represent unit vectors along the incident ray, reflected ray, and normal to the surface respectively, then:

  • A
    $\hat{n}_2=\hat{n}_1-2(\hat{n}_1 \cdot \hat{t}) \hat{t}$
  • B
    $\hat{n}_2=\hat{n}_1+2(\hat{n}_1 \cdot \hat{t}) \hat{t}$
  • C
    $\hat{n}_2=-\hat{n}_1$
  • D
    $\hat{n}_2=2 \hat{n}_1-(\hat{n}_1 \times \hat{t}) \cdot \hat{n}_1$

$A$ 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:

$A$ beam of light from a source $L$ is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance $x$ from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source $L$. When the mirror is rotated through a small angle $\theta$,the spot of the light is found to move through a distance $y$ on the scale. The angle $\theta$ is given by
