A plane mirror of a circular shape with radius, is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A circular area of radius, on the floor, is to be illuminated after the reflection of light from the mirror. The height of the room is, . What is the maximum distance (in cm) from the center of the mirror and the bulb so that the required area is illuminated?

In figure shown is a plane mirror of length placed at a height from the ground. There is a light source at a point on the ground. If the minimum height is and maximum height is of a man (eye height) required to see the image of the source if he is standing at a point on the ground as shown in figure, then find the ratio

Two concave mirrors each of radius of curvature are placed such that their principal axes are parallel to each other & at a distance of to each other. Both the mirrors are at a distance of to each other. Consider first reflection at and then at , the final coordinates of the image thus formed are , then find . Take location of object as the origin.


A fly is sitting on a glass slab, , thick of refractive index . The slab covers the top of a container containing water (Refractive index ) upto a height of . The bottom of container is closed by a concave mirror of radius of curvature . Find the distance (in ) of final image from formed by all refractions and reflection assuming paraxial rays.
