Solution and Explanation
Four properties of images formed by a plane mirror:
- Virtual: The image formed is virtual, meaning the light rays do not actually converge at the image location. Instead, they appear to diverge from the image point.
- Erect: The image is erect (upright) and not inverted.
- Laterally inverted: The image is laterally inverted, meaning that left and right are swapped.
- Same size as the object: The image is the same size as the object. The image distance is equal to the object distance.

- 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 \_\_\_\_.
