How does an endoscope work?
उत्तर
- An endoscope is an instrument used by doctors which has a bundle of optical fibres that are used to see inside a patient’s body.
- Endoscopes work on the phenomenon of total internal reflection. The optical fibres are inserted into the body through mouth, nose or a special hole made in the body.
- Even operations could be carried out with the endoscope cable which has the necessary instruments attached at their ends.

A concave mirror of focal length 'f1' is placed at a distance 'd' from a convex lens of focal length 'f2'. A parallel beam of light coming from infinity parallel to principal axis falls on the convex lens and then after refraction falls on the concave mirror. If it is to retrace the path, the distance 'd' should be ______.
