Optics 1 Question 14

14. Image of an object approaching a convex mirror of radius of curvature 20m along its optical axis is observed to move from 253m to 507m in 30s. What is the speed of the object in kmh1 ? (2010)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 14. 3

Solution:

  1. Using mirror formula twice,

1+25/3+1u1=1+10 or 1u1=325110 or u1=50m and 1(+50/7)+1u2=1+101u2=750110 or u2=25m

Speed of object =u1u2 time 

=2530ms1=3kmh1

Answer is 3 .
