उत्तर
Given,
Height of the object, h1 = 20 cm,
Distance of image from screen v = −5.0 m = −500 cm,
\[- \frac{v}{u} = \frac{h_2}{h_1}\]
\[or \frac{- ( - 500)}{u} = \frac{50}{20}\]
Where 'u' is the distance of object from screen.
(As the image is inverted)
Using mirror formula,
\[\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}\]
\[or \frac{1}{- 5} + \frac{1}{- 2} = \frac{1}{f}\]
\[or - \frac{1}{f} = \frac{7}{10}\]
\[or f = - \frac{10}{7} = - 1 . 44 \text{ m }\]
Hence, the required focal length of the concave mirror is 1.44 m.

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: |
Which of the following phenomena is prominently involved in the formation of mirage in deserts?
