A light ray `I` is incident on a plane mirror `M`.The mirror is rotated in the direction as shown in the figure by an arrow at frequency `(9)/(pi) "rev"//"sec"`,The light reflected by the mirror is received on the wall `W` at a distance `10m`from the axis of rotation .When the angle of incidence becomes `37^(@)`find the speed of the spot (a point) on the wall?

A

10 m/s

B

1000 m/s

C

360 m/s

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


As we know the `omega_("reflected ray") = 2 omega_("mirror")`
`omega_(R)= 2 xx 2pi xx (9)/(pi)= 18 xx 2 = 36 therefore v_(S) "cos"37^(@) = v`
`v_(S) = v"sec" 53^(@) = Romega_(R)"sec"53^(@) = 10 ("sec"53^(@))^(2) xx 18`
=` 10 xx ((5)/(3))^(2) xx 18 xx 2 = 1000 "m"//"s"`

A ray of light is incident on a concave mirror . It is parallel to the principal axis and its height from principal axis is equal to the focal length of the mirror. The ratio of the distance of point B to the distance of the focus from the centre of curvature is (AB is the reflected ray)

A parabola mirror is kept along y^2=4x and two light rays parallel to its axis are reflected along one straight line. If one of the incident light rays is at 3 units distance from the axis, then find the distance of the other incident ray from the axis.

A beam of light from a source L is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance x from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source L. When the mirror is rotated through a small angle theta , the spot of the light is found to move through a distance y on the scale. The angle theta is given by

Two mirrors are inclined at angle theta as shown in figure. Light rays are incident parallel to one of mirrors. Light will start retracing its path after the reflection if

A ray of light travelling in the direction (1)/(2) (hati+sqrt3hatj) is incident on a plane mirror. After reflection, it travels along the direction (1)/(2) (hati-sqrt3hatj) . The angle of incidence is

Light incident normally on a plane mirror attached to a galvanometer coil retraces backwards as shown in Fig. 9.33. A current in the coil produces a deflection of 3.5^(@) of the mirror. What is the displacement of the reflected spot of light on a screen placed 1.5 m away?

A thin equiconvex lens of glass of refractive index mu=3//2 & of focal length 0.3m in air is sealed into an opening at one end of a tank filled with water (mu=4//3) .On the opposite side of the lens ,a mirror is placed inside the tank on the tank wall perpendicular to the lens axis ,as shown in figure .the separation between the lens and the mirror is 0.8m A small object is placed outside the tank in front of the lens at a distance of 0.9 m form the lens along its axis .Find the position (relative to the lens)of the image of the object fromed by the stsyem.

The direction of ray of light incident on a concave mirror is shown by PQ while directions in which the ray would travel after reflection is shown by four rays marked 1, 2, 3 and 4 (See figure). Which of the four rays correctly shows the direction of reflected ray ?

A mirror and a source of light are situated at the origin O and at a point on O X , respectively. A ray of light from the source strikes the mirror and is reflected. If the direction ratios of the normal to the plane are 1,-1,1, then find the D C s of the reflected ray.
