Reflection-A 2

This document provides information about the magnification of an image in a optical system. It gives the formulas for longitudinal magnification (mL) and transverse magnification (mT). It then works through an example calculation to find the amplitude of image oscillation given the distances and focal length. It also provides two example problems, solving for the velocity of an image given information about the velocity and position of an object in a mirror system.

3. A luminous point object is moving along the principal axis of a concave mirror of focal length 12 cm towards it. When
its distance from the mirror is 20 cm its velocity is 4 cm/s. The velocity of the image in cm/s at that instant is :
(A) 6, towards the mirror (B) 6, away from the mirror (C*) 9, away from the mirror (D) 9, towards the mirror

4. In the figure shown consider the first reflection at the plane mirror and second at
the convex mirror. AB is object : velocity
(A) The second image is real, inverted of 1/5th magnification. A B C
(B*) The second image is virtual and erect with magnification 1/2. 10cm 10cm 120 cm
(C*) The second image moves towards the convex mirror. 50 cm
(D) The second image moves away from the convex mirror.
Sol. First reflection at plane mirror : Velocity
Image of A = A'  10 cm behind P.
P A B O
Image of B = B'  40 cm behind P.
30 cm
Second reflection at convex mirror 10 cm 10 cm
A'B' becomes object for convex mirror 50 cm R = 120
f = 60
