Q. A flat mirror M is arranged parallel to a wall W at a distance L from it as shown in the figure. The light produced by a point source S kept on the wall is reflected by the mirror and produces a light patch on the wall. If the mirror moves with velocity v towards the wall.


- The patch of light will not move on the wall.
- The width of the light patch on the wall remains the same.
