A long horizontal mirror is next to a vertical screen (see figure). Parallel light rays are falling on the mirror at an angle $α$ from the vertical. If a vertical object of height $h$ is kept on the mirror at a distance $d > h$ $\tan (α) .$ The length of the shadow of the object on the screen would be.
