A converging beam of rays meets at a point 15 cm in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature 20 cm. In absence of the mirror where would the beam of rays meet?

The focal leght of a spherical mirror is 40 cm. What is its radius of curvature ?

A point object O is placed on the axis of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 6 cm. Rays of light coming from O after reflection from concave mirror M are incident on a small mirror M. After reflection from M the reflected rays meet at the pole P of the concave mirror. If OP = 9cm, PM = 3 cm, then determine the nature of the mirror M and its focal length.

Define focal length of concave mirror.

A beam of converging rays is incident on a convex mirror of radius of curvature 30 cm and after reflection meet at a distance of 10 cm in front of the mirror. Where in absence of the mirror would the converiging rays meet? (in cm)

An object is placed just at the middle point between concave mirror of radius of curvature 40 cm and a convex mirror of radius of curvature 30 cm facing each other. The mirrors are situated 50 cm apart from each other. The mirrors are situated 50 cm apart from each other. Considering the first reflection occurs in the concave mirror, determine the position and nature of the image formed by this mirror. Next find the position and nature of the image formed by the convex mirror considering the first image for concave mirror as its object.
