(C) Let the position of the person be $x = 0$. The right mirror $(RM)$ is at $x = 1 \, m$ and the left mirror $(LM)$ is at $x = -2 \, m$.The first image $I_1$ in the right mirror $(RM)$ is formed by the person at $x = 0$. The distance of the person from $RM$ is $1 \, m$,so the image $I_1$ is formed $1 \, m$ behind $RM$,at $x = 2 \, m$.The second image $I_2$ in the right mirror $(RM)$ is formed by the reflection of the image of the person in the left mirror $(LM)$. The person is $2 \, m$ from $LM$,so the image $I_{LM}$ is formed $2 \, m$ behind $LM$,at $x = -4 \, m$. This image $I_{LM}$ acts as an object for the right mirror $(RM)$. The distance of $I_{LM}$ from $RM$ is $1 \, m + 2 \, m + 2 \, m = 5 \, m$. Thus,the second image $I_2$ is formed $5 \, m$ behind $RM$,at $x = 1 \, m + 5 \, m = 6 \, m$.The distance of the second image $I_2$ from the person (at $x = 0$) is $6 \, m - 0 = 6 \, m$.

Two plane mirrors $M_1$ and $M_2$ have a length of $20 \, m$ each and are $10 \, cm$ apart. $A$ ray of light is incident on one end of mirror $M_2$ at an angle of $53^{\circ}$. The number of reflections the light undergoes before reaching the other end is

The incident ray,reflected ray,and the outward drawn normal are denoted by the unit vectors $\overrightarrow{ a }, \overrightarrow{ b }$ and $\overrightarrow{ c }$ respectively. Choose the correct relation for these vectors.

The following figure shows the multiple reflection of a light ray along a glass corridor where the walls are either parallel or perpendicular to one another. If the angle of incidence at point $P$ is $30^o$,what are the angles of reflection of the light ray at points $Q, R, S$ and $T$ respectively?

Light rays fall on a plane mirror and form a real image. Therefore,the incident rays are:

$A$ man moves towards a plane mirror with a velocity $v$ in a direction making an angle $\theta$ with the normal to the mirror. The magnitude of the velocity of the image relative to the man is:
