### Physics Problems on Plane Mirrors and Capacitance

#### Question 9:
**Problem Statement:**
When a plane mirror at which a ray is incident is rotated through an angle \(\theta\), the reflected ray will be rotated through:
- A. \( \frac{1}{2} \theta \)
- B. \( \theta \)
- C. \( 2 \theta \)
- D. \( 3 \theta \)

#### Question 10:
**Problem Statement:**
The net capacitance in the circuit shown below is:

**Circuit Diagram:**
- A circuit is provided with three capacitors. 
- Two capacitors are in parallel each with a capacitance of 2 μF.
- Another capacitor with a capacitance of 4 μF is in series with the parallel combination.
- Terminal points are marked as \( P \) and \( O \).

**Circuit Diagram Explanation:**
- The circuit consists of three capacitors. The first two capacitors, each with a capacitance of 2 μF, are connected in parallel.
- A third capacitor with a capacitance of 4 μF is connected in series with the parallel combination.

**Possible Answers:**
- A. \( 8.0 \, \mu F \)
- B. \( 6.0 \, \mu F \)
- C. \( 4.0 \, \mu F \)
- D. \( 2.0 \, \mu F \)

**Hint for Students:**
To solve the net capacitance in the circuit, remember:
1. For capacitors in parallel: \( C_{parallel} = C_1 + C_2 \)
2. For capacitors in series: \( \frac{1}{C_{series}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} \)

Calculate the capacitance step-by-step using these formulae to find the net capacitance.
