Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Spherical aberration is absent in plane mirrors.
Reason (R): Plane mirrors form exact life-size virtual images; and since these aren't spheres, they do not suffer from this type of aberration.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

A laser beam is an incident on a flat/plane mirror at some angle and results in a reflected beam. The mirror is now rotated by an angle \(\delta\) while the direction of incident laser beam is kept the same. The angle between the new reflected beam and the reflected beam before the mirror was rotated is 
1. 2\(\delta\)
2. 0
3. \(\delta\)
4. \(\delta\)/2

A point source of light \(S\), placed at a distance \(60\) cm in front of the centre of a plane mirror of width \(50\) cm, hangs vertically on a wall. A man walks in front of the mirror along a line parallel to the mirror at a distance \(1.2\) m from it (see in the figure). The distance between the extreme points where he can see the image of the light source in the mirror is:

 
1. \(150\) cm
2. \(300\) cm
3. \(450\) cm
4. \(600\) cm

2. the distortion of the image depends on the location of the phone with respect to the mirror.
3. both (1) and (2)
4. none of these
