A thief is running away in a car with velocity of 20 ms-1. 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 of  1 cm s-1. If the magnification of the mirror for the jeep at that time is 110. Find (a) actual speed of jeep (b) rate at which magnification is changing. Assume that police jeep is on axis of the mirror.

A fly F is sitting on a glass slab, A45 cm thick of refractive index 32. The slab covers the top of a container B containing water (Refractive index 43) upto a height of 20 cm. The bottom of container is closed by a concave mirror C of radius of curvature 40 cm. Find the distance (in cm) of final image from F formed by all refractions and reflection assuming paraxial rays.

IMPORTANT

A balloon is rising up along the axis of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 20 m. A ball is dropped from the balloon at a height 15 m from the mirror when the balloon has velocity 20 m s-1. Find the speed (in m s-1) of the image of the ball formed by a concave mirror after 4 seconds? [Take : g=10 m s-2]

IMPORTANT

Two concave mirrors each of radius of curvature 40 cm are placed such that their principal axes are parallel to each other & at a distance of 1 cm to each other. Both the mirrors are at a distance of 100 cm to each other. Consider first reflection at M1 and then at M2, the final coordinates of the image thus formed are x,-y, then find xy. Take location of object as the origin.

When a pin is moved along the principal axis of a small concave mirror, the image position coincides with the object at a point 0.5 m from the mirror, refer to figure. If the mirror is placed at depth of 0.2 m in a transparent liquid, the same phenomenon occurs when the pin is placed 0.4 m form the mirror. The refractive index of the liquid is:
