A spherical mirror produces an image of magnification -1, when an object is placed on the principal axis of the mirror at a distance of 40 cm form its pole. (a) Identify the nature of image. (b) Identify the nature of spherical mirror. (c) Find the distance between the object and its image. (d) How will the nature of the image change, if the object is shifted 10 cm towards the mirror ? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer. [Hint. (a) Image is real, inverted/same size as the object, (b) Concave mirror, (c) Zero, (d) Image will be formed beyond C, It will be larger in size.]

A coin is placed at the bottom of a glass trough containing water (refractive index = 4/3 ) up to a height 20 cm. At what depth it will appear when it is viewed from air, vertically above the coin. Draw a suitable ray diagram in support of your answer.

A student focussed the flame of a candle on a screen with the help of a convex lens. He noted the positions of candle, lens and screen on the scale as given below: Position of candle = 14.0 cm, Position of convex lens = 50.0 cm, Position of screen = 86.0 cm (i) Find the focal length of the lens. (ii) If under the given condition, height of the flame is 1.5 cm, what would be the height of image obtained on the screen? (iii) If he displaces the candle to 32.0 cm, where will the image be formed and what will be its nature? Give reason for your answer. (iv) After this if he further displaces the candle towards the lens, what will be the nature of the image formed and where will it be? (v) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in the above mentioned case. [Hints. (i) u = (50-14) cm = 36 cm, v = (86 - 50) cm = 36 cm. Thus the object is at 2f. Therefore f = 18cm (ii) Height will be same, i.e., 1.5 cm (iii) u = 50-32 = 18 cm. Thus, object will be at focus. Therefore, image will be at infinity and is real, inverted and enlarged. (iv) Object will come in between focus and optical centre. Image will be virtual, erect and enlarged and formed on the same side of lens as the object.

A stationary observer O looking at a fish F in water (mu_(w)=4//3) through a converging lens of focal length 90.0cm . The lens is allowed to fall frelly from a height 62.0cm with its axis vertical. The fish and the observer are on the principal axis of the lens. The fish moves up with constant velocity 100cm//s . Initially it was at depth of 44.0cm . Find the velocity (in cm//s) with which the fish appears to move with respect to lens to the observer at t=0.2 s . (take g=10m//s^(2))
