Solution and Explanation
For a convex mirror, when:
1. A ray parallel to the principal axis strikes the mirror, it diverges after reflection, and the reflected rays appear to come from the focal point behind the mirror.
2. A ray directed towards the focal point reflects and travels parallel to the principal axis

- A point source \(S\) emits unpolarized light uniformly in all directions. At two points A and B, the ratio \(r = I_A/I_B\) of the intensities of light is \(2\). If a set of two polaroids having 45° angle between their pass-axes is placed just before point B, then the new value of r will be ____

- Two equilateral-triangular prisms \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are kept with their sides parallel to each other, in vacuum, as shown in the figure. A light ray enters prism \(P_1\) at an angle of incidence \(\theta\) such that the outgoing ray undergoes minimum deviation in prism \(P_2\). If the respective refractive indices of \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are \(\sqrt{3}/\sqrt{2})\) and \(\sqrt{3}\), then \(\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\sqrt{3}/\sqrt{2}) \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{\beta}\right)\right)\), where the value of \(\beta\) is \_\_\_\_.
