A man uses a concave mirror for shaving. He keeps his face at a distance of 25 cm from the mirror and gets an image which is 1.4 times enlarged. Find the focal length of the mirror.

उत्तर
Given,
Distance of the man's face (here, taken as object), u = −25 cm
According to the question, magnification, m = 1.4
\[m = \frac{A'B'}{AB} = - \frac{v}{u}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 . 4 = - \frac{(v)}{- 25}\]
\[\Rightarrow\frac{14}{10}=\frac{v}{25}\]
\[\Rightarrow v=\frac{25 \times 14}{10}=35 \text{ cm }\]
Using equation of mirror, we get:
\[\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}\]
`⇒ 1/f = 1/35 - 1/25`
\[= \frac{5 - 7}{175} = - \frac{2}{175}\]
⇒ f = −87.5
Hence, the required focal length of the concave mirror is 87.5 cm.

(i) Consider a thin lens placed between a source (S) and an observer (O) (Figure). Let the thickness of the lens vary as `w(b) = w_0 - b^2/α`, where b is the verticle distance from the pole. `w_0` is a constant. Using Fermat’s principle i.e. the time of transit for a ray between the source and observer is an extremum, find the condition that all paraxial rays starting from the source will converge at a point O on the axis. Find the focal length.
(ii) A gravitational lens may be assumed to have a varying width of the form
`w(b) = k_1ln(k_2/b) b_("min") < b < b_("max")`
= `k_1ln (K_2/b_("min")) b < b_("min")`
Show that an observer will see an image of a point object as a ring about the center of the lens with an angular radius
`β = sqrt((n - 1)k_1 u/v)/(u + v)`
