Detailed Solution
When light rays passes through prism, all incident rays will be deviated by the deviation angle given asδ=μ−1A=32−12∘=1∘=π180radAs prism is thin, object and image will be in the same plane as shown in figure. below Thus in this case the shift of image due to prism in y-direction is given as Shift d=aδ=5π180⇒d=π36 cm Now this image will act as an object for concave mirror. So for mirror formula we use u=−25 cm and f=−30 cm ⇒1v+1u=1f ⇒v=ufu−f=150 cm Also, m=size of imagesize of object=−150−25=+6Thus distance of image from principal axis is given as =π36×6=π6 cm So co-ordinates of image formed after reflection from concave mirror are 175 cm,π6 cm.
