A mirror and a source of light are situated at the origin O and at a point on OX, respectively. A ray of light from the sources strikes the mirror and is reflected. If the direction ratios of the normal to the plane are 1, -1, 1, then find the DCs of the reflected ray.

Consider a ray of light incident from air onto a slab of glass (refractive index n) of width d, at angle theta . The phase difference between the ray reflected by the top surface of the glass and the bottom surface is:

A ray of light is the path followed by light between two points. (True/false)

A ray of light passing through the point (1, 2) reflects on the x-axis at point A and the reflected ray passes through the point (5, 3). Find the coordinates of A.

A ray of light is sent through the point P(1,2,3) and is reflected on the XY plane. If the reflected ray passes through the point Q(3,2,5) then the equation of the reflected ray is

If a ray of light travelling in glass enters into water will it bend towards or away from the normal?

Suppose that a ray of light leaves the point (3,4) reflects off the Y -axis towards the x-axis reflects fro m the X - axis and finally arrives at the point (8,2) .The value of x is

Statement I A ray of light incident at the point (-3,-1) gets reflected from the tangent at (0,-1) to the circle x^(2)+y^(2)=1 . If the reflected ray touches the circle, then equation of the reflected ray is 4y-3x=5 Statement II The angle of incidence = angle of reflection i.e. anglei=angler ,

Glass of refractive index 1.5 is coated with a thin layer of thickness t and refractive index 1.8 . Light of wavelength lambda travelling in air is incident normally on the layer. It is partly reflected at the upper and the lower surfaces of the layer and the two reflected rays interface . If lambda = 648 nm , obtain the least value of t ("in" 10^(-8)m ) which the rays interface constructively.
