STATEMENT- 1 For observing traffic at our back, we prefers to use a convex mirror STATEMENT 2 A convex mirror has a more larger field of view than a plane mirror or concave mirror.

Use the mirror equation to deduce that: (a) an object placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror produces a real image beyond 2f. (b) a convex mirror always produces a virtual image independent of the location of the object. (c) the virtual image produced by a convex mirror is always diminished in size and is located between the focus and the pole. (d) an object placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror produces a virtual and enlarged image.

A thief is running away in a car with velocity of 20 m//s . A police jeep is following him, which is sighted by thief in his rear view mirror, which is a convex mirror of focal length 10 m. He observes that the image of jeep is moving towards him with a velocity of 1 cm//s . if the magnification of mirror for the jeep at that time is 1/10 . Find the actual speed of jeep, Assume the police's jeep is on the axis of the mirror.

A concave mirror of focal length 10cm and a convex mirror of focal length 15cm are placed facing each other 40cm apart. A point object is placed between the mirrors, on their common axis and 15cm from the concave mirror. Find the position and nature of the image produced by successive reflections, first at the concave mirror and then at the convex mirror.

A convex mirror having focal length 20 cm is used as side glass in car. Driver will find image of car coming behind 6 m away at .....

Why is the tungsten used almost exclusively for filament of electric lamps? Explain.

A student performed the experiment of determination of focal length of a concave mirror by u-v method using an optical bench of length 1.5 meter. The focal length of the mirror used is 24 cm. The maximum error in the location of the image can be 0.2 cm. The 5 sets of (u,v) values recorded by the student (in cm) are: (42,56),(48,48),(60,40),(66,33),(78,39) . The data set (s) that cannot come from experiment and is (are) incorrectly recorded, is (are)
