Q85 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (26 Feb Shift 2) · Physics

A point source of light S, placed at a distance 60 cm infront of the centre of a plane mirror of width 50 cm, hangs vertically on a wall. A man walks infront of the mirror along a line parallel to the mirror at a distance 1.2 m from it (see in the figure). The distance between the extreme points where he can see the image of the light source in the mirror is__cm

Figure

Correct answer: 150

Solution

Figure

tanθ=2560=x180

x=75 cm

so distance between extreme point =2x=2×75=150 cm

Hence, the correct answer is 150.
