Two plane mirrors are kept on a horizontal table making an angle $\theta$ with each other as shown schematically in the figure. The angle $\theta$ is such that any ray of light reflected after striking both the mirrors returns parallel to its incident path. For this to happen,the value of $\theta$ should be (in $^{\circ}$)

  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $45$
  • C
    $60$
  • D
    $90$

At what angle (in degrees) should two plane mirrors be inclined to obtain $3$ images?

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.

Two plane mirrors $AB$ and $AC$ are inclined at an angle $\theta = 20^{\circ}$. $A$ ray of light starting from point $P$ is incident at point $Q$ on the mirror $AB$,then at $R$ on mirror $AC$,and again at $S$ on $AB$. Finally,the ray $ST$ goes parallel to mirror $AC$. The angle which the ray makes with the normal at point $Q$ on mirror $AB$ is: (in $^{\circ}$)

When a plane mirror is placed horizontally on a level ground at a distance of $60 \ m$ from the foot of a tower,the top of the tower and its image in the mirror subtend an angle of $90^\circ$ at the eye. The height of the tower will be.....$m$.
