Detailed Solution

Here, Intensity without mirror is   I0=Po4π0.22where P0 is power of source.

Question Image


 
The intensity at the side of mirror is  I=P04π0.12=I04π0.224π0.12=4I0
The power of incident on mirror is Pm=πd24×4I0=πd2I0
Here, d is aperture of mirror,
 u=10cm,f=+10cm
 1v+1u=1f
 v=5cm
From similar triangles, Dd=355
 D=7d
Intensity due to reflected light on the screen is I1=4Pmπ7d2=4πd2I0π49d2=4I049
Total intensity =  I0+4I049=53I049

                               =53×4949=53Wm2
