A plane mirror of semicircular shape (radius ) is placed in plane with its diameter along -axis and centre at origin. An object is placed on the axis of mirror at point . At a distance of from plane mirror there is a wall also parallel to plane. The ratio of area of spot of light on wall to that of mirror is.

A point source of light , placed at a distance infront of the centre of a plane mirror of width , hangs vertically on a wall. A man walks infront of the mirror along a line parallel to the mirror at a distance from it (see in the figure). The distance between the extreme points where he can see the image of the light source in the mirror is__

A transparent thin film of uniform thickness and refractive index is coated on the convex spherical surface of radius R at one end of a long solid glass cylinder of refractive index , as shown in the figure. Rays of light parallel to the axis of the cylinder traversing through the film from air to glass get focused at distance f1 from the film, while rays of light traversing from glass to air get focused at distance f2 from the film. Then

A hemispherical glass body of radius 10 cm and refractive index 1.5 is silvered on its curved surface. A small air bubble is 6 cm below the flat surface inside it along the axis. The position of the image of the air bubble made by the mirror is seen :

A point source of light, is placed at a distance in front of the center of plane mirror of width which is hanging vertically on a wall. A man walks in front of the mirror along a line parallel to the mirror, at a distance as shown below. The distance over which the man can see the image of the light source in the mirror is:
