उत्तर
Given,
Height (h1) of the candle flame taken as object AB = 1.6 cm
Diameter of the ball bearing (d) = 0.4 cm
So, radius = 0.2 cm
Distance of object, u = 20 cm
Using mirror formula,
\[\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{2}{R}\]
Putting the values according to sign conventions, we get,
\[\frac{1}{( - 20)} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{2}{0 . 2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{20} + 10\]
\[ \Rightarrow v = 0 . 1 cm or 1 . 0 \text{ mm inside the ball bearing . }\]
\[Magnification = m\]
\[ = \frac{A'B'}{AB} = - \frac{v}{u} = m\]
\[ = \frac{A'B'}{200} = \frac{1}{200}\]
\[\Rightarrow A'B'=\frac{AB}{200}=+\frac{1 . 6}{200} = + 0 . 08 \text{ cm } (+0008\text{ cm })\]
Hence, the distance of the image is 1 cm.
Height of the image is 0.008 cm.

To a distant observer, the light appears to be coming from somewhere below the ground. The observer naturally assumes that light is being reflected from the ground, say, by a pool of water near the tall object. Such inverted images of distant tall objects cause an optical illusion to the observer. This phenomenon is called mirage. This type of mirage is especially common in hot deserts. Based on the above facts, answer the following question: |
