1. (1)

i = 90° – 30° = 60°


r = i = 60°

2. (4)

Line ABC make 180°


θ + 90 – θ + 90 − θ + 60 = 180 ⇒ θ = 60°
(From figure) angle between mirror and reflected ray is equal to 60°

3. (1)

As Reflected ray goes vertical


θ + θ −10 = 90
⇒ θ = 50°

For reflection at A
Angle of incidence (i) = 90 − 60° = 30°
⇒ i = 30°
Deviation, δ = 180 − 2 × 30° = 120°

3. (1)

Deviation δ = 180 − 2 × 50 = 80°

4. (3)
δ = 60°
δ = 180 − 2i

In plane mirror, size of the image is independent of the angle of incidence & rotation of mirror.

Mirror is rotated by = 20° (clockwise) ⇒ reflected ray rotated by = 40° (clockwise).
Incident ray rotated by = 10° (anticlockwise) ⇒ reflected ray rotated by = 10° (clockwise).
Net rotation of reflected ray is = 40° + 10° = 50° (clockwise).

In given conditions m = u

1 1 1
from mirror equation v
+u = f

given f = – 0.2 m
1 1 1
⇒ −2u + u = −0.2 ⇒ u = – 0.1m
So, mirror should be placed at the distance of 0.1 m.

From mirror equation + =
v u f
1 1 1 f

So, image will be virtual, erect and smaller than object

4. (1)
f = – 30 cm & m = –3
f – 30
m = f – u ∴ – 3 = – 30 – u ⇒ u = – 40 cm
⇒ u = 40 cm in front of mirror

f −18 −18
m = f−u = −18−(−27) ⇒ m = 9

For image to form at A the rays after reflecting from mirror should retrace their paths.
For this image formed by lens must lie at centre of curvature of mirror.

So d = 2F + R = 40 + 20 = 60 cm

For final image to form at same position light rays have

For that image at infinity light should retrace its path, that mean focus of lens and centre of curvature
