A car is fitted with a convex side-view mirror of focal length 20 cm. A second car 2.8m behind the first car is overtaking the first car at a relative speed of 15 `m/s`. The speed of the image of the second car as seen in the mrror of the first one is:

A

10 m/s

B

15 m/s

C

`(1)/(10) m//s`

D

`(1)/(15) m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Velocity of image = `-m^(2)V_(0) = - ((f)/(f-u))^(2) V_(0)`
= `-((20)/(20 -(-280)))^(2) (15) = -(1)/(15) m//s`

Consider a concave mirror and a convex lens (refractive index 1.5) of focal length 10 cm each separated by a distance of 50 cm in air (refractive index = 1) as shown in the Fig. An object is placed at a distance of 15 cm from the mirror. Its erect image formed by this combination has magnification M_1 . When this set up is kept in a medium of refractive index 7//6 , the magnification becomes M_2 . The magnitude ((M_2)/(M_1)) is : .

In the figure there is a long horizontal bridge over a river 75 m high from water surface. A strong man throws a stone in the parallel plane of the bridge. A observer in a car travelling on the bridge finds the stone going pass by the car while ascending and also while descending between two points on the road 30 m away. The car is travelling at a speed of 15 m/s. The stone is thrown from the bank of river just at the same level of water.
