Question:

An object O is placed at a distance of 100 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 200 cm as shown in the figure. The object starts moving towards the mirror at a speed 2 cm/s. The position of the image from the mirror after 10 s will be at ____ cm.

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is 400
\(After\ 10\ sec.\)
\(u = -80 cm\)
\(f = -100cm\)
\(\frac{1}{v} +\frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}\)
\(v = 400cm\)

Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

Optics, deals with the determination of behaviour and the properties of light, along with its interactions with the matter and also with the instruments that are used to detect it.

Ray optics is also known as the geometrical optics and it is a branch of science which describes light propagation.

Reflection is the change in direction of light at an interface in-between two different media so that the wave-front returns into a medium from which it was originated.

Speed of light is the rate at which the light travels in free space.

A phenomenal change in image formed when the light is passed from one medium to another which is called Refraction.

Total Internal Reflection is the reflection of light when the light ray enters into a rarer medium from a denser medium and the angle of incidence is higher than the critical angle of incidence then that light ray will be reflected back to the denser medium.
