In an experiment to determine the focal length (f) of a concave mirror by the u-v method, a student places the object pin A on the principal axis at a distance x from the pole P. The student looks at the pin and its inverted image from a distance keeping his/her eye in line with PA. When the student shifts his/her eye towards left, the image appears to the right of the object pin. Then,

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)

To study the structure and working of a solar cooker and/or water heater. Activity is done for understanding how the solar equipments are insulated and how does maximum heat absorption is ensured. Property : A black surface absorbs more heat. Structure : rarr It consists of an insulated metal box or a wooden box which is painted black from inside. rarr The box has a thick glass sheet as a cover over the box. rarr A plane or concave mirror is attached to the box that acts as a reflector. rarr Mirror focuses the rays of the sun into the box. How is heat reflected into the box ?

A ray of light is coming along the line y=b from the positive direction of x-axis and striks a concave mirror whose intersection with xy-plane is a parabola y^2 = 4ax . Find the equation of the reflected ray and show that it passes through the focus of the parabola. Both a and b are positive.

When two plane mirrors subtend an angle theta between them, then a ray of light incident parallel to one of them retraces its path afer n reflections such that ntheta=c (where c is constant) If the angle between mirrors is 60^(@) . Then light ray retraces its path after n reflections where n is

An accelration produces a narrow beam of protons, each having an initial speed of v_(0) . The beam is directed towards an initially uncharges distant metal sphere of radius R and centered at point O. The initial path of the beam is parallel to the axis of the sphere at a distance of (R//2) from the axis, as indicated in the diagram. The protons in the beam that collide with the sphere will cause it to becomes charged. The subsequentpotential field at the accelerator due to the sphere can be neglected. The angular momentum of a particle is defined in a similar way to the moment of a force. It is defined as the moment of its linear momentum, linear replacing the force. We may assume the angular momentum of a proton about point O to be conserved. Assume the mass of the proton as m_(P) and the charge on it as e. Given that the potential of the sphere increases with time and eventually reaches a constant velue. After a long time, when the potential of the sphere reaches a constant value, the trajectory of proton is correctly sketched as

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 short linear object of length b lies along the axis of a concave mirror of focal length f at a distanee u from the pole of the mirror. The size of the image is approximately equal to
