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.

$A$ luminous object is placed $20 \, cm$ from the surface of a convex mirror and a plane mirror is adjusted in such a way that the virtual images formed by the two mirrors coincide. If the focal length of the convex mirror is $5 \, cm$,then the distance between the plane mirror and the object will be......$cm$.

$A$ small fish,$0.4\,m$ below the surface of a lake,is viewed through a simple converging lens of focal length $3\,m$. The lens is kept at $0.2\,m$ above the water surface such that the fish lies on the optical axis of the lens. The image of the fish seen by the observer will be at $\left( \mu_{water} = \frac{4}{3} \right)$
