A thin rod of length

f / 2

is placed along the principal axis of a concave mirror of focal length

f

, such that its image which is real and elongated, just touches the rod. Then the longitudinal magnification of the rod is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

2

The correct answer is D (2). The longitudinal magnification is calculated by finding the positions of the ends of the rod and then using the formula

m = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{u_2 - u_1}

.

. The size of the image is Red colour is used for danger signals because A ray of light is incident on the hypotenuse of a right-angled prism after travelling parallel to the base inside the prism. If

\mathrm{\mu }

is the refractive index of the material of the prism, the maximum value of the base angle for which light is totally reflected from the hypotenuse is Statement-A: The minimum distance between an object and its real image formed by a convex lens is

2{f}

.

Statement-B: The distance between an object and its real image is minimum when its magnification is -1. Assertion: We cannot produce a real image by plane or convex mirrors under any circumstances.
Reason: The focal length of a convex mirror is always taken negative. If both the object and image are at infinite distance from a refracting telescope its magnifying power will be equal to
