Two plane mirrors ${M}_{1}$ and ${M}_{2}$ are at a right angle to each other as shown. $A$ point source $P$ is placed at distances of $a$ and $2a$ meters from ${M}_{1}$ and ${M}_{2}$ respectively. The longest distance between the images thus formed is: (Take $\sqrt{5} = 2.3$)

  • A
    $3a$
  • B
    $4.6a$
  • C
    $2.3a$
  • D
    $2\sqrt{10}a$

$A$ ray of light making an angle $10^o$ with the horizontal is incident on a plane mirror making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. What should be the value of $\theta$ so that the reflected ray goes vertically upwards?

$A$ 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
