8. Two vertical plane mirrors are inclined at an angle of 60° with each other. A ray of light travelling
horizontally is reflected first from one mirror and then from the other. The resultant deviation is:

9. When a plane mirror is placed horizontally on a level ground at a distance of 60m from the foot
of a tower, the top of the tower and its image in the mirror subtend an angle of 90° at the eye.
The height of the tower will be:
(1) 30 m (2) 60 m (3) 90 m (4) 120 m
10. An object is at a distance of 0.5 m in front of a plane mirror. Distance between the object and
image is:
(1) 0.5 m (2) 1 m (3) 0.25 m (4)1.5 m
11. The light reflected by a plane mirror may form a real image
(1) If the ray incident on the mirror are diverging
(2) If the rays incident on the mirror are converging
(3) If the object is placed very close to the mirror
(4) Under no circumstances
12. Two plane mirrors are inclined to each other at an angle 600. If a ray of light incident on the first
mirror is parallel to the second mirror, it is reflected from the second mirror:
(1) Perpendicular to the first mirror (2) Parallel to the first mirror
(3) Parallel to the second mirror (4) Perpendicular to the second mirror
13. It is desired to photograph the image of an object placed at a distance of 3 m from a plane
mirror. The camera, which is at a distance of 4.5 m from the mirror should be focused for a
distance of:
(1) 3 m (2) 4.5 m (3) 6 m (4) 7.5 m
14. An unnumbered wall clock shows time 04: 25: 37, where 1st term represents hours, 2nd
represents minutes and the last term represents seconds. What time will its image in a plane
mirror show?
(1) 08: 35: 23 (2) 07: 35: 23 (3) 07: 34: 23 (4) none of these
15. Two plane mirrors are parallel to each other and spaced 20 cm apart. An object is kept in
between them at 15 cm from A. Out of the following at which point(s) image(s) is/are not formed
in mirror A (distance measured from mirror A):
(1) 15 cm (2) 25 cm (3) 45 cm (4) 55 cm
16. A thick mirror produces a number of images of an object. The brightest images is
(1) first (2) second (3) third (4) last one
17. If two mirrors are kept at 60º to each other, then the number of images formed by them is
(1) 5 (2) 6 (3) 7 (4) 8
