An object is placed 42 cm, in front of a concave mirror of focal length 21 cm. Light from the concave mirror is reflected onto a small plane mirror 21 cm in front of the concave mirror Where is the final image?

A plane mirror (M_1) and a concave mirror (M_2) of focal length 10 cm are arranged as shown in figure. An object is kept at origin. Answers the following questions. (consider image formed by single reflection in all cases). The coordination of image formed by concave mirror are

A slab of glass, of thickness 6 cm and refractive index mu =1.5 is placed in front of a concave mirror as shown in the figure. If the radius of curvature of the mirror is 40 cm and the reflected image coincides with the object, then the distance of the object from the mirror is

Answer the following: (a) What is a wave front? How does it propagate? Using Huygens' principle, explain reflection of a plane wavefront from a surface and verify the laws of reflection. (b) A parallel beam of light of wavelength 500 nm falls on a narrow slit and the resulting diffraction pattern is obtained on a screen 1 m away. If the first minimum is formed at a distance of 2.5 mm from the centre of screen, find the (i) width of the slit, and (ii) distance of first secondary maximum from the centre of the screen.

A point source of light S is placed on the major optical axis of the concave mirror at a distance of 60 cm. At what distance from the concave mirror should a flat mirror be placed for the rays to converge again at the point S having been reflected from the concave mirror and then from the flat one? Will the position of the point where the rays meet change if they are first reflected from the flat mirror? The radius of the concave mirror is 80 cm.

Two mirrors, one concave and the other convex, are placed 60 cm apart with their reflecting surfaces facing each other . An object is placed 30 cm from the pole of either of them on their axis. If the focal lengths of both the mirrors are 15 cm , the position of the image formed by reflection, first at the convex and then at the concave mirrors , is

In the fig. shown consider the first reflection at the plane mirror and second at the convex mirror. AB is object.
