turned through 6 0 making the angle of incidence 510, at what angle is the reflected ray rotated?

Q2. A person running towards a plane mirror with a speed of 10 m/s . At what speed will his
image in the plane mirror appear to him to be moving towards him?

Q3. Using the sun as the object to a concave mirror of focal length 0.4 m, prove that the image
of the object at infinity will be formed at the focal point of the mirror.

red colours are 1.528 and 1.510, respectively.
