HARD
A concave mirror has radius of curvature of 40 cm. It is at the bottom of a glass that has water filled up to 5 cm (see figure). If a small particle is floating on the surface of water, its image as seen, from directly above the glass, is at a distance d from the surface of water. The value of d is close to: (Refractive index of water =1.33)

When an object is placed between pole and focus of a concave mirror, then the images formed are
HARD
An object is gradually moving away from the focal point of a concave mirror along the axis of the mirror. The graphical representation of the magnitude of linear magnification m versus distance of the object from the mirror x is correctly given by
(Graphs are drawn schematically and are not to scale)
MEDIUM

A point object is moving uniformly towards the pole of a concave mirror of focal length 25 cm along its axis as shown below. The speed of the object is 1 ms-1. At t=0, the distance of the object from the mirror is 50 cm. The average velocity of the image formed by the mirror between time t=0 and t=0.25 s is:

Question Image 

MEDIUM
