Important Questions on Curved Mirror
If the equation of mirror is given by then find the point on which horizontal ray should be incident so that the reflected ray become perpendicular to the incident ray

A ray of light is incident oa a concave mirror. It is 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 to the distance of the focus from the centre of curvature is ( is reflected ray)

A converging lens of focal length is placed in front of and coaxial with a convex mirror of focal length . Their separation is . A parallel beam of light incident of the lens returns as a parallel beam from the arrangement-

A thief is running away in a car with velocity of . A police jeep is following him, which is sighted by thief in his rear view mirror which is a convex mirror of focal length . He observes that the image of jeep is moving towards him with a velocity of of . If the magnification of the mirror for the jeep at that time is . 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 is sitting on a glass slab, , thick of refractive index . The slab covers the top of a container containing water (Refractive index ) upto a height of . The bottom of container is closed by a concave mirror of radius of curvature . Find the distance (in ) of final image from formed by all refractions and reflection assuming paraxial rays.

A balloon is rising up along the axis of a concave mirror of radius of curvature . A ball is dropped from the balloon at a height from the mirror when the balloon has velocity . Find the speed (in ) of the image of the ball formed by a concave mirror after seconds? [Take : ]

Two concave mirrors each of radius of curvature are placed such that their principal axes are parallel to each other & at a distance of to each other. Both the mirrors are at a distance of to each other. Consider first reflection at and then at , the final coordinates of the image thus formed are , then find . 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 from the mirror, refer to figure. If the mirror is placed at depth of in a transparent liquid, the same phenomenon occurs when the pin is placed form the mirror. The refractive index of the liquid is:

A convex mirror of focal length is placed at the origin with its reflecting surface towards the negative x-axis. Choose the correct graphs between and for .

Radius of curvature of each mirror is . is object. Consider first reflection from concave mirror. Consider only first three reflection. The distance of final image from convex mirror is

A concave mirror of focal length is cut into two parts from the middle and the two parts are moved perpendicularly by a distance from the previous principal axis . The distance between the images formed by the two parts is:

An infinitely long rod lies along the axis of a concave mirror of focal length . The near end of the rod is at a distance from the mirror. Its image will have a length

A short linear object of length lies along the axis of a concave mirror of focal length at a distance from the mirror. The size of the image is approximately

The distance of an object from a spherical mirror is equal to the focal length of the mirror. Then the image :
