Hence image is real, inverted and less

(b) Since u = - 10 cm, 
Hence object is situated on focus of the

Let distance between mirror and object is x.
Since image is formed at a distance 5 m

From Eqs.(i) and (ii), we get

Þ 4 5 x =

Hence mirror is placed at 1.25 m on right

Thus mirror is concave mirror of radius of

4. Since the incident rays and reflected rays
are parallel to each other therefore mirror is

1. Here v = 39.2 cm, hence v = - 39.2 cm
and magnification m = 1
Þ  h h
i o

Hence image is formed at 39.2 cm behind
the mirror and height of image is = 4.85 cm.
2. From figure, angle of incident = ° 15
Let reflected ray makes an angle q with the 
horizontal, then
q + ° + ° = ° 15 15 90   Þ  q = ° 60
3.
Since mirror are parallel to each other ¥
image are formed the distance of five closet
to object are 20 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm, 100 cm and
140 cm.
4. The distance of the object from images are 
2 4 6 b b b , , ..... etc. 
Hence the images distance are 2 nb, where 
n = 1 2 , ,K . Ans.
5. Suppose mirror is rotated at angle q about
its axis perpendicular to both the incident
ray and normal as shown in figure
In figure (b) I remain unchanged N and R
shift to N¢ and R¢.
From figure (a) angle of rotation = i,
From figure (b) it is i - 2q
Thus, reflected ray has been rotated by
angle 2q.

7. The deviation produced by mirror M

 is 
= ° - 180 2 a
and the deviation produced by mirror M
2
 is 
= - 180 2
Hence total deviation

= - + f 360 2 ( ) a
In D ABC we get,
