A man moves on the path AB. He wants to see the image of the object kept at a perpendicular distance 2d apart from the path. The rays after reflection from the mirror fall on the path as shown. The man can see the image if he runs through the distance x on the path. If the length of the mirror is 4m, find the value of x (in m).

A ray of light is incident on a convex mirror as shown in Fig. Redraw the above diagram after completing the path of the light ray after reflection from the mirror.

To construct a ray diagram we use two rays of light which are so chosen that it is easy to determine their directions after reflection from the mirror. Choose these two ras and state the path of these rays after reflection from a concave mirror . Use these two rays to find the nature and position of the image of an object plced at a distance of 15 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm.
