The figure shows an overhead view of a corridor with a plane mirror MN mounted at one end. A burglar B sneaks along the corridor directly towards the centre of the mirror. If d = 3m, how far from the mirror will the burglar be when the security guard S can first see him in the mirror ? ---

A plane mirror is placed with its plane at an angle 30^(@) with the y-axis. Plane of the mirror is perpendicular to the xy-plane and the length of the mirror is 3m. An insect moves along x-axis starting from a distant point, with speed 2 cm/s. The druation of the time for which the insect can see its shown image in the mirror is:

OP is the principal axis of a concave mirror M1. Just below the axis a plane mirror M2 is placed at a distance d from the concave mirror. Two small pins A and B are placed on the principal axis as shown. By moving M2 and changing d, the virtual image of A formed in mirror M1 and the virtual image of B formed in mirror M2 were made to coincide. (a) Calculate the focal length of the concave mirror if it was found that the images coincide when separation between the mirrors was d_(0) . (b) Can the two virtual images be observed by the eye simultaneously?
