There are two plane mirror with reflecting surfaces facing each other. The mirrors are moving with speed $v$ away from each other.$A$ point object is placed between the mirrors. The velocity of the $n$ -th image will be
  • A
    $nv$
  • $2nv$
  • C
    $3nv$
  • D
    $4nv$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$2nv$
b
With respect to mirror$1$ the object is going array from mirror. So first image will also more away w.r.t mirror $1$ with same speed $v.$ So with respect to object $O$ the image speed is

$v_{\text {image1 }}=v_{\text {image1, mirror } 1}+V_{\text {mirror } 1, \mathrm{obj}}$

$=v+v=2 v$

Now this image becomes object for mirror $2 .$ With respect to mirror $2$ the image is going away towards left with speed $3v.$ So its second image will more away towards right with speed $3v$ w.r.t mirror $2.$ Hence speed w.r.t $O$ will be $3v + v =$$4 \mathrm{v}$

Hence for nth image $v_{\text {image }}=2 n v$

$A$ straight line joining the object point and image point is always perpendicular to the mirror
  • A
    if mirror is plane only
  • B
    if mirror is concave only
  • C
    if mirror is convex only
  • irrespective of the type of mirror.
Answer
Correct option: D.
irrespective of the type of mirror.
d
Any line joining the object point and the image point always passes through the centre of curvature of the mirror. This, is because of the law, that any ray passing through the centre of curvature of the mirror will retrace its path back.

Thus, any ray passing through the centre of curvature will be perpendicular to the mirror irrespective of the type of the mirror used.

Which of the following could not produce a virtual image
  • A
    Plane mirror
  • B
    Convex mirror
  • C
    Concave mirror
  • All the above can produce a virtual image
Answer
Correct option: D.
All the above can produce a virtual image
d
(d) $Convex\, mirrors$ always produce a virtual, erect and diminished image and the decrease in size of image depends on the position of the object in front of the mirror.

$Plane\, Mirrors$ always produce a virtual and erect image having the same size as that of the object irrespective of the position of object.

$Concave\, mirrors$ produce real and virtual, erect and inverted, diminished, samesized and magnified image depending upon the position of the object on the principal axis. The concave mirror forms a virtual and erect image only when the object is placed between the Focus and the pole of the mirror.

Thus, a virtual image can be formed by all the three mirrors.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION $D.$

In a concave mirror experiment, an object is placed at a distance ${x_1}$ from the focus and the image is formed at a distance ${x_2}$ from the focus. The focal length of the mirror would be
  • A
    ${x_1}{x_2}$
  • $\sqrt {{x_1}{x_2}} $
  • C
    $\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2}}}{2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{x_1}}}{{{x_2}}}} $
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\sqrt {{x_1}{x_2}} $
b
(b) Given $u = (f + {x_1})$ and $v = (f + {x_2})$

The focal length $f = \frac{{uv}}{{u + v}} = \frac{{(f + {x_1})(f + {x_2})}}{{(f + {x_1}) + (f + {x_2})}}$

On solving, we get ${f^2} = {x_1}{x_2}$ or $f = \sqrt {{x_1}{x_2}} $

(b) $m =  - \frac{v}{u}$ also $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$

==> $\frac{u}{f} = \frac{u}{v} + 1$
==> $ - \frac{u}{v} = 1 - \frac{u}{f}$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{ - v}}{u} = \frac{f}{{f - u}}$ so $m = \frac{f}{{f - u}}$.

A concave mirror is used to focus the image of a flower on a nearby well $120cm$ from the flower. If a lateral magnification of $16$ is desired, the distance of the flower from the mirror should be.....$cm$
  • $8$
  • B
    $12$
  • C
    $80$
  • D
    $120$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$8$
a
(a) Let distance $ = u.$ Now $\frac{v}{u} = 16$ and $v = u + 120$
$\therefore \,\,\frac{{120 + u}}{u} = 16 \Rightarrow 15u = 120 \Rightarrow u = 8\,cm$.

A virtual image three times the size of the object is obtained with a concave mirror of radius of curvature $36cm.$The distance of the object from the mirror is........$cm$
  • A
    $5$
  • $12$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $20$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$12$
b
(b) Image is virtual so $m = + 3.$ and $f = \frac{R}{2} = 18\;cm$
So from $m = \frac{f}{{f - u}} \Rightarrow 3 = \frac{{( - 18)}}{{( - 18) - u}}$$ \Rightarrow u = - \;12\;cm.$

Radius of curvature of concave mirror is $40cm$ and the size of image is twice as that of object, then the object distance is....$cm$
  • A
    $60$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $40$
  • $30$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$30$
d
(d) $f = \frac{R}{2} = 20\,cm,$ $m = 2$ For real image; $m = - 2,$
By using $m = \frac{f}{{f - u}}$, $ - 2 = \frac{{ - 20}}{{ - 20 - u}} \Rightarrow u = - 30\,cm$
For virtual image; $m = + 2$
So, $ + 2 = \frac{{ - \,20}}{{ - 20 - u}} \Rightarrow u = - 10\,cm$

A convex mirror has a focal length$f.$ A real object is placed at a distance $f$ in front of it from the pole produces an image at
  • A
    Infinity
  • B
    $f$
  • $f/2$
  • D
    $2f$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$f/2$
c
( c)Here focal length $ = f$ and $u = - f$
On putting these values in $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{f} = - \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{v} \Rightarrow v = \frac{f}{2}$

An object $1\;cm$ tall is placed $4\;cm$ infront of a mirror. In order to produce an upright image of $3\;cm$ height one needs a
  • A
    Convex mirror of radius of curvature $12\;cm$
  • Concave mirror of radius of curvature $12\;cm$
  • C
    Concave mirror of radius of curvature $4\;cm$
  • D
    Plane mirror of height $12\;cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
Concave mirror of radius of curvature $12\;cm$
b
(b) Erect and enlarged image can produced by concave mirror.
$\frac{I}{O} = \frac{f}{{f - u}} \Rightarrow \frac{{ + \;3}}{{ + 1}} = \frac{f}{{f - ( - \;4)}} \Rightarrow f = - \;6\,cm$

An object is placed at $20cm$ from a convex mirror of focal length $10\,cm.$ The image formed by the mirror is
  • A
    Real and at $20\,cm$ from the mirror
  • B
    Virtual and at $20\,cm$ from the mirror
  • Virtual and at $\frac{{20}}{3}$ from the mirror
  • D
    Real and at $\frac{{20}}{3}$ from the mirror
Answer
Correct option: C.
Virtual and at $\frac{{20}}{3}$ from the mirror
c
( c)$u = - 20\,cm,$ $f = + 10\,cm$ also $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{ + 10}} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{{( - 20)}} \Rightarrow v = \frac{{20}}{3}\,\,cm;$ virtual image.

A point object is placed at a distance of $10\,cm$ and its real image is formed at a distance of $20\,cm$ from a concave mirror. If the object is moved by $0.1cm$ towards the mirror, the image will shift by about
  • $0.4cm$ away from the mirror
  • B
    $0.4cm$ towards the mirror
  • C
    $0.8cm$ away from the mirror
  • D
    $0.8cm$ towards the mirror
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0.4cm$ away from the mirror
a
(a)Mirror formula

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{{ - 20}} + \frac{1}{{( - 10)}} \Rightarrow f = \frac{{20}}{3}\,\,cm.$

If object moves towards the mirror by $0.1\,cm$ then.

$u = (10 - 0.1) = 9.9\,cm.$ Hence again from mirror formula

$\frac{1}{{ - 20/3}} = \frac{1}{{v'}} + \frac{1}{{ - 9.9}} \Rightarrow v' = 20.4\,cm$ i.e. image shifts away from the mirror by $0.4\,cm.$

A concave mirror of focal length $15\, cm$ forms an image having twice the linear dimensions of the object. The position of the object when the image is virtual will be........$cm$
  • A
    $22.5 $
  • $7.5$
  • C
    $30 $
  • D
    $45$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$7.5$
b
(b) $f = - 15\,cm,$ $m = + 2$ (Positive because image is virtual)

$\because \,m =  - \frac{v}{u} \Rightarrow v =  - 2u$. By using mirror formula

$\frac{1}{{ - 15}} = \frac{1}{{( - 2u)}} + \frac{1}{u} \Rightarrow u = - 7.5\,cm$
