A ray of light travelling with a speed c leaves point 1 shown in figure and is reflected to point 2. The ray strikes the reflecting surface at a distance x from point 1. According to Fermat's principle of least time, among all possible paths between two points , the one actually taken by a ray of light is that for which the time taken is the least (In fact there are some cases in which the time taken by a ray is maximum rather than a minimum). Find the time for the ray to reach from point 1 to point 2.

To construct a ray diagram we use two rays of light which are so chosen that it is easy to determine their directions after reflection from the mirror. Choose these two ras and state the path of these rays after reflection from a concave mirror . Use these two rays to find the nature and position of the image of an object plced at a distance of 15 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm.
