Two plane mirrors, A and B, are aligned parallel to each other, as shown in the figure. A light ray is incident at an angle of 30, at a point just inside one end of A. The plane of incidence coincides with the plane of the figure. The maximum number of times the ray undergoes reflections (including the first one) before it emerges out is

The refractive index of the material of a prism is 2 and the angle of the prism is 30°. One of the two refracting surfaces of the prism is made a mirror inwards, by a silver coating. A beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if its angle of incidence on the prism is:

A rod of glass (μ=1.5) and of the square cross-section is bent into the shape as shown in the figure. A parallel beam of light falls on the plane flat surface A as shown in the figure. If d is the width of a side and R is the radius of a circular arc, then for what maximum value of dR light entering the glass slab through surface A emerges from the glass through B?
