उत्तर
Given,
Two converging mirrors having equal focal length 'f '.
Both the mirrors will produce one image under two conditions:
Case-1
When the point source is at the centre of curvature of the mirrors, i.e, at a distance of '2f' from each mirror, the images will be produced at the same point 'S'. Therefore, d = 2f + 2f = 4f
Case-II
When the point source 'S' is at focus, i.e., at a distance 'f ' from each mirror, the rays from the source after reflecting from one mirror will become parallel and so these parallel rays, after the reflection from the other mirror the object itself. Thus, only one image is formed.
Here d = f + f = 2f

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: |
