What happens to a light ray that is incident on a plane mirror normally?

Answer»

SOLUTION :When a light RAY is incident on a plane mirror normally, the angle of incidence `anglei=0`.
According to the laws of reflection, `anglei=angler`.
So, the angle of reflection also must be zero. The reflected ray must travel ALONG the same path in the opposite direction.

Three persons P_(1), P_(2) and P_(3) are at different points A, B and C, respectively as shown in the figure. Two persons P_(1) and P_(3) clap at the same time. Which among the following can be the minimum distance between P_(2) and P_(3) to hear the clap sound distinctly by P_(2)? (Take the velocity of sound in air as 330 ms^(-1))

Answer»

<P>330 m
384 m
363 m
660 m

Solution :Velocity of sound `'v' = 330 MS^(-1)`
distance between `P_(1)` and `P_(2) = 330 m`
So, time taken to hear the sound
`t = (330)/(330) = 1 s`
Human ear can hear TWO sounds separately only if they reach at interval of 1/10 of a second. So, the time taken by the sound from `P_(3)` to reach `P_(2)` is minimum of `1 + 1/10 = 1.1 s`.
So, the distance between `P_(2)` and `P_(3) = t xx v`
`= 1.1 xx 330 = 363 m.`
