A concave mirror of radius R is kept on a horizontal table (See figure). Water (refractive index = μ) is poured into it up to a height h. Where should an object be placed so that its image is formed on itself?
उत्तर
Given,
A concave mirror of radius 'R' kept on a horizontal table.
'h' is height up to which the water is poured into the concave mirror.
Let the object be placed at height 'x' above the surface of water.
We know if we place the object at the centre of curvature of the mirror, then the image itself will be formed at the centre of curvature.
Therefore, the apparent position of the object with respect to the mirror should be at the centre of curvature so that the image is formed at the same position.
Since,
\[\Rightarrow - \frac{( - 60)}{( - 30)} = \frac{R_{image}}{2}\]
(with respect to mirror)
\[Now, \frac{x}{R - h} = \frac{1}{\mu}\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{R - h}{\mu}\]
Hence, the object should be placed at
\[\frac{R - h}{\mu}\] above the water surface.

A hemispherical portion of the surface of a solid glass sphere (μ = 1.5) of radius r is silvered to make the inner side reflecting.

A mass m = 50 g is dropped on a vertical spring of spring constant 500 N m−1 from a height h = 10 cm as shown in figure. The mass sticks to the spring and executes simple harmonic oscillations after that. A concave mirror of focal length 12 cm facing the mass is fixed with its principal axis coinciding with the line of motion of the mass, its pole being at a distance of 30 cm from the free end of the spring. Find the length in which the image of the mass oscillates.
Two concave mirrors of equal radii of curvature R are fixed on a stand facing opposite directions. The whole system has a mass m and is kept on a frictionless horizontal table following figure. Two blocks A and B, each of mass m, are placed on the two sides of the stand. At t = 0, the separation between A and the mirrors is 2 R and also the separation between B and the mirrors is 2 R. The block B moves towards the mirror at a speed v. All collisions which take place are elastic. Taking the original position of the mirrors-stand system to be x = 0 and X-axis along AB, find the position of the images of A and B at t = (a) `R/v` (b) `3R/v` (c) `5R/v`.
