Vedclass · Answer

(B) Let the distance between the two mirrors be $h = 0.2 \ m$ and the length of the mirrors be $L = 2\sqrt{3} \ m$.The angle of incidence is $i = 30^\circ$.When the ray reflects between the two parallel mirrors,the horizontal distance $d$ covered by the ray between two consecutive reflections is given by:$d = h 	an(i) = 0.2 	an(30^\circ) = 0.2 	imes \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \ m$.The total horizontal distance covered by the ray before it emerges is $L = 2\sqrt{3} \ m$.The number of reflections $n$ is given by the ratio of the total length to the horizontal distance per reflection:$n = \frac{L}{d} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{0.2 / \sqrt{3}} = \frac{2 	imes 3}{0.2} = \frac{6}{0.2} = 30$.Thus,the maximum number of reflections is $30$.

Assertion : The image of a virtual object due to a plane mirror is real.
Reason : If the rays seem to be converging at a point behind a plane mirror,they are reflected and they actually meet in front of the mirror.
