A concave mirror produces three times magnified image on a screen. If the object is placed 20 cm in front of the mirror, how far is the screen from the object?
Given,
u = -20 cm
m = -3
m = v/(-u)
∴ v =-m xu
= -(-3)(-20 cm) = -60
Distance between the object and the screen is 40 cm
= -60 cm- (-20 cm)=- 40 cm
In the following diagram the correctly marked angles are:
The correct sequencing of the angle of incidence, the angle of emergence, the angle of refraction and lateral displacement shown in the following diagram by digits 1, 2, 3 and 4 is:
A student places a candle flame at a distance of about 60 cm from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm and focuses the image of the flame on a screen. After that, he gradually moves the flame towards the lens and each time focuses the image on the screen.
(a) In which direction-toward or away from the lens, does he move the screen to focus the image?
(b) How does the size of the image change?
(c) How does the intensity of the image change as the flame moves towards the lens?
(d) Approximately for what distance between the flame and the lens, the image formed on the screen is inverted and of the same size?
If the image formed by a spherical mirror for all positions of the object placed in front of it is always erect and diminished, what type of mirror is it? Draw a labelled ray diagram to support your answer.
