Questions  

A convex mirror and a concave mirror of radius 10 cm each are placed 15 cm apart facing each other. An object is placed midway between them. If the reflection first takes place in the concave mirror and then in convex mirror, the position of the final image is

a
on the pole of the convex mirror
b
on the pole of the concave mirror
c
at a distance of 10 cm from the convex mirror
d
at a distance of 5 cm from the concave mirror

detailed solution

Correct option is A

For a concave mirror, u=−152cm,v=?f=−102cm=−5cm1v=1f−1u=1−5−1−15/2=−15+215=−115or v=−15cmClearly, the position of the final image is on the pole of the convex mirror.

An object is placed in front of a convex mirror at a distance of 50 cm. A plane mirror is introduced covering the lower half of the convex mirror. If the distance between the object and the plane mirror is 30 cm, it is found that there is no parallax between the images formed by the two mirrors. What is the radius of curvature of the convex mirror?
