उत्तर
Using sign conventions, given,
Distance of object from mirror, u = − 30 cm,
Radius of curvature of concave mirror R = − 40 cm
Using the mirror equation,
\[\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{2}{R}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{2}{R} - \frac{1}{u}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{2}{- 40} - \frac{1}{- 30} = \frac{1}{- 20} + \frac{1}{30}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{- 30 + 20}{30 \times 20} = \frac{- 10}{30 \times 20}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = - \frac{1}{60}\]
or, v = − 60 cm
Hence, the required image will be located at a distance of 60 cm in front of the concave mirror.

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: |
