प्रश्न
A point light source is kept in front of a convex mirror at a distance of 40 cm. The focal length of the mirror is 40 cm. Find the position of image.
उत्तर
Given,
u = 40 cm (negative)
f = 40 cm (positive)
Mirror formula:
`1/u + 1/v = 1/f`
Substituting the values in the formula above, we get,
`- 1/40 + 1/v = 1/40`
`1/v = 1/40 + 1/40`
`1/v = (1 + 1)/40`
`1/v = 2/40`
`1/v = 1/20`
⇒ v = 20 cm.
The image is behind the mirror at a distance 20 cm.

A simple microscope is used by watch repairers. Give reason.
A 4 cm tall object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens. The distance of the object from the optical centre of the lens is 12 cm and its sharp image is formed at a distance of 24 cm from it on a screen on the other side of the lens. If the object is now moved a little away from the lens, in which way (towards the lens or away from the lens) will he have to move the screen to get a sharp image of the object on it again? How will the magnification of the image be affected?

Visit a nearby hospital. You can also visit the clinic of an ENT specialist, or a dentist. Request the doctor to show you the mirrors used for examining ear, nose, throat and teeth. Can you recognise the kind of mirror used in these instruments?
