(b) Since there is no parallex, it means that both images (By plane mirror and convex mirror) coinciding each other.

According to property of plane mirror it will form image at a distance of $30 cm$ behind it. Hence for convex mirror $u = -50 cm, \,\,v = + 10 cm$ 

By using $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$ 

$ \Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{{ + 10}} + \frac{1}{{ - 50}} = \frac{4}{{50}}$ 

$ \Rightarrow $ $f = \frac{{25}}{2}cm$ 

$ \Rightarrow \,\,\,R = 2f = 25cm.$

  • On the pole of the convex mirror
  • B
    On the pole of the concave mirror
  • C
    At a distance of $10 \;cm$ from the convex mirror
  • D
    At a distance of $5 \;cm$ from the convex mirror
Answer
Correct option: A.

a
for concave mirror $u =-7.5 ; f =-5$

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

$\frac{1}{ v }-\frac{2}{15}=\frac{-1}{5}$

$v =-15$

i.e, image is formed at pole of convex mirror for convex mirror, $u=0 ; f=+5$

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

$\frac{1}{ v }+\frac{1}{0}=\frac{1}{5}$

$v =0$

so final image is frormed at pole of convex mirror

$-\frac{1}{ u }=\frac{-12}{-12- u }$

$12+ u =-48$

$u =-48-12$

$u =-60 cm$

Hence, the object distance is $60\; cm$

  • A
    $v_1 = -v_0$
  • B
    ${v_1} = \,\, - {v_0}\,\,\left( {\frac{r}{{2u - r}}} \right)$
  • C
    ${v_1} = \,\, - {v_0}\,\,\left( {\frac{{2u - r}}{r}} \right)$
  • ${v_1} = \,\, - {v_0}\,\,{\left( {\frac{r}{{2u - r}}} \right)^2}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
${v_1} = \,\, - {v_0}\,\,{\left( {\frac{r}{{2u - r}}} \right)^2}$
d
$\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}$

Differentiating both sides $-\frac{1}{v^2} \frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{1}{u^2} \frac{d u}{d t}$

$\frac{d v}{d t}=v_l=-\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)^2 \frac{d u}{d t}=-\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)^2 v_0$

Again $\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{2}{r}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{2 u-r}{r u}$

$v=\frac{u r}{2 u-r}$

$v_i=-\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)^2 v_o=-v_o\left(\frac{r}{2u-r}\right)^2$

$u=- 15\,\,cm\,,\,\,{{f}}= +10\,\,cm$

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

$\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{{( - 15)}}=\frac{1}{{10}}$

$\Rightarrow v=30\,cm$

$x=v+2 f \Rightarrow 30+3 \times 12=54 \;cm$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$12$
b
$\mathrm{u}=-20 \mathrm{\,cm}$

$\mathrm{f}=+5 \mathrm{\,cm}$

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

$\mathrm{v}=+4 \mathrm{\,cm}$

Distance between object and image is $24 \mathrm{\,cm} .$ So plane mirror must be placed in between i.e. at $12 \mathrm{\,cm}$ from object.

How much water should be filled in a container $21 cm$ in height, so that it appears half filled when viewed from the top of the container......$cm$ (given that $_a{\mu _\omega } = 4/3$)
  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $10.5$
  • $12$
  • D
    None of the above
Answer
Correct option: C.
$12$
c
(c) To see the container half-filled from top, water should be filled up to height $x$

so that bottom of the container should appear to be raised upto height $(21-x).$

As shown in figure apparent depth $h' = (21 - x)$
Real depth $h = x$

$\therefore $$\mu = \frac{h}{{h'}} \Rightarrow \frac{4}{3} = \frac{x}{{21 - x}} \Rightarrow x = 12 cm$
