The image of an object O due to reflection from the surface of a lake is elongated due to the ripples on the water surface caused by a light breeze. This is because the ripples act as tilted mirrors as shown. Consider the case where O and the observer E are at the same height above the surface of the lake. If the maximum angle that the ripples make with the horizontal is a, the angular extent delta of the image will be

The internal surface of the walls of a sphere is specular. The radius of the sphere is R=36cm. A point source S is placed at a distance R//2 from the cneter of the sphere and sends light to the remote part of the sphere. Where will the image of the source be after two successive reflections from the remote and then nearest wall of the sphere? How will the position of the image change if the source sends light to the nearest wall first?Consider paraxial rays.

An echo is returned in 3 s . What is the distance of the reflecting surface from the source, given that the speed of sound is 342 m//s .
