Why do the pupil contracts and expands?

In dim light, your pupil expands. In bright light, your pupil contracts. Your pupil contracts in bright light because not as much light is needed to see. Same thing with dim light, your pupil expands in dim light because there is more light needed to see. Because there is not as much light in a closet than in an open field your pupil contracts and expands to let in more light or let in less light, depending on were you are at and how dark it is.

Suppose you are 66.2 cm from a plane mirror What area of the mirror is used to reflect the rays entering one eye from a point on the tip of your nose if your pupil diameter is 5.13 mm?

The area of the mirror that is used to reflect the rays entering one eye from the tip of your nose is equivalent to the size of the pupil's image formed by the mirror, which is the diameter of the pupil. In this case, it would be 5.13 mm in diameter. The distance between the tip of your nose and the mirror (66.2 cm) does not affect the size of the image formed in the mirror.
