Two plane mirrors \({M}_{1}\) and \({M}_{2}\) are at right angle to each other shown. A point source \('P'\) is placed at \('a'\) and \('2a'\) meter away from \({M}_{1}\) and \({M}_{2}\) respectively. The longest distance between the images thus formed is : (Take \(\sqrt{5}=2.3\) )

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.6 {a}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Shortest distance is \(2 {a}\) between \({I}_{1} \& {I}_{3}\)

But answer given is for \({I}_{1} \& {I}_{2}\)

\(\sqrt{(4 a)^{2}+(2 a)^{2}}\)

\(a \sqrt{20}\)

\(4.47 {a}\)
