In an experiment to determine the focal length (f) of a concave mirror by the u-v method, a student places the object pin A on the principal axis at a distance x form the pole P. The student looks at the pin and its inverted image form a distance keeping his/her eye in line with PA. When the student shifts his/her eye towards left, the image appears to the right, oh the object pin. Then,
A ray of light travelling in water in incident on its surface open to air. The angle of incidence is $$\theta$$, which is less than the critical angle. Then there will be
Statement 1 :
The formula connecting u, v and f for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature.
Statement 2 :
Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces, but not for large spherical surfaces.
A point object is placed at a distance of 20 cm from a thin plano-convex lens of focal length 15 cm , if the plane surface is silvered. The image will form at
