A ray of light is incident on a mirror which is lying on the \(x\text-y\) plane. The reflected ray travels along the direction of the vector \(3\hat i-4\hat j+2\hat k.\) The incident ray must be along:
1. \(-3\hat i+4\hat j+2\hat k\) 2. \(3\hat i-4\hat j-2\hat k\)
3. \(-3\hat i-4\hat j+2\hat k\) 4. \(-3\hat i+4\hat j-2\hat k\)

Two plane mirrors are inclined at \(70^\circ.\) A ray incident on one mirror at an angle \(\theta\) after reflection falls on the second mirror and is reflected from there parallel to the first mirror. The value of \(\theta\) is:
1. \(45^\circ\)
2. \(30^\circ\)
3. \(55^\circ\)
4. \(50^\circ\)

An object is placed at a distance of \(40~\text{cm}\) from a concave mirror of a focal length of \(15~\text{cm}.\) If the object is displaced through a distance of \(20~\text{cm}\) towards the mirror, the displacement of the image will be:
1. \(30~\text{cm}\) away from the mirror.
2. \(36~\text{cm}\) away from the mirror.
3. \(30~\text{cm}\) towards the mirror.
4. \(36~\text{cm}\) towards the mirror.

A ray of light \((1)\) gets reflected partially at the front surface of a thin film of thickness \(t,\) and refractive index \(\mu.\) The reflected ray from the front surface is \(2\) while that emerging due to reflection from the rear surface is \(3.\) Assume that ray \(1\) is incident normally. The optical path difference between rays \(2\) and \(3\) is:
                 
1. \((\mu-1)t\)
2. \(2(\mu-1)t\)
3. \(\mu t\)
4. \(2\mu t\)

A ray of light passes through three parallel media, with the angles of incidence and emergence as shown in the figure. The refractive indices of the media are \(\mu_{1}\) = 1, \(\mu_{2}\) and \(\mu_{3}\).
                
Then:
1. \(\mu_{2}=\dfrac{1}{3},~\mu_{3}=\dfrac{1}{2}\)    2. \(\mu_{2}=3,~\mu_{3}=\dfrac{3}{2}\)   
3. \(\mu_{2}=\dfrac{1}{3},~\mu_{3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\) 4. \(\mu_{2}=3,~\mu_{3}=2\)
