Question no. A
Q.9.a. A point source S, convex lens L and plane mirror M are placed in front of each other, such that rays of light from S return to it after reflection from M.
(a) What is the distance OS called?
(b) To which point will the rays return if M is moved towards the lens L to be in contact with it.

Dear student,


since in the query, O is not defined anywhere so check the query again.
Point S is called focus of the lens.
 If M is moved towards the lens then the image will still format point S. As the lens will not be able to change its focus.
Regards
