The faces and are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the mirror . If a ray of light is incident on the face and emerges from the face , then the correct statement(s) is/are:
- Advanced 2024PhysicsList match
A light ray is incident on the surface of a sphere of refractive index at an angle of incidence . The ray partially refracts into the sphere with angle of refraction and then partly reflects from the back surface. The reflected ray then emerges out of the sphere after a partial refraction. The total angle of deviation of the emergent ray with respect to the incident ray is . Match the quantities mentioned in List-I with their values in List-II and choose the correct option.

Three plane mirrors form an equilateral triangle with each side of length . There is a small hole at a distance from one of the corners as shown in the figure. A ray of light is passed through the hole at an angle and can only come out through the same hole. The cross section of the mirror configuration and the ray of light lie on the same plane.
Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

A light ray is incident, at an incident angle , on the system of two plane mirrors and having an inclination angle 75° between them (as shown in figure). After reflecting from mirror it gets reflected back by the mirror with an angle of reflection 30°. The total deviation of the ray will be ______ degree.

A ray of light traveling in water is incident on its surface open to air. The angle of incidence is , which is less than the critical angle. Then there will be
- Advanced 2007PhysicsAssertion and reason
STATEMENT-1: The formula connecting , and for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature.
because
STATEMENT-2: Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces, but not for large spherical surfaces.
