Two plane mirror are placed back to back. They are then opened out slowly to form a wedge, their reflecting surfaces lying on the outside. A beam of parallel light becomes incident on the edge of the wedge. The two beams reflected from its face are found to make an angle of 120° with each other. Determine the angle between the mirrors.

The plane of a room is a rectangle ABCD and the sides AB and CD are each 6 m and BC and AD are 7m. On the walls CD and AB are plane mirrors facing inwards. A person P stands at the midpoint of CD, facing AB. The first image of the side AB seen in the mirror on AB just fills the mirror. What is the distance between P to E. Draw diagrams to show how you arrive at your answer.

An object is placed in front of a convex mirror at a distance of 50 cm. A plane mirror is introduced covering the lower half of the convex mirror. If the distance between the object and the plane mirror is 30 cm, it is found that there is no parallax between the images formed by the two mirrors.. What is the radius of curvature of the convex mirror ?

IMPORTANT

Two mirrors, one concave and the other convex, and placed coaxially with their reflecting surfaces facing each other. Their radii of curvature are equal, say R, and the distance between them is 2R. A point object is placed on the axis in such a way that it coincides with its image formed by two reflections, the first reflection being by the convex mirror. Determine the position of the object. Where will be the image formed if the first reflection takes place at the concave mirror ?

A thin flat glass is placed in between a convex mirror of focal length 20 cm and a point source. The distance between the mirror and the glass plate is 5 cm. What is the distance between the plate and the source if its image formed by the rays reflected from the front surface of the glass plate coincides with the image formed by the rays coincidence of the images by direct observation? Trace the path of rays.
