Where should you place an object on the principal axis in front of a convex mirror to get a virtual, upright, and smaller image?

Explanation :

Convex mirror is a spherical mirror in which the reflecting surface bulges towards the light source. There are only two cases for the image formation in a convex mirror.

(1) When an object is placed at infinity, Image will form at the focus behind the mirror. A virtual, erect and point sized image is formed.

(2) When an object is placed anywhere on the principal axis, the image will form between P and F behind the mirror. This forms a virtual, erect and diminished image.

Hence, correct option is ''<em>anywhere on the principal axis''</em>

By definition, a convex mirror is a type of an optical mirror wherein its mirror surface bulges at the front. In addition to that, it is contrary to the concave mirror wherein the mirror gets bulged inward. It is furthermore said that we can get a virtual, upright, and smaller image in a convex mirror if it is placed anywhere in the principal axis.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

V = 2.05× 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

The angle of the incidence; i = 40°

Angle of refraction; (r) = 26°

For us to find the speed of light in the material, we'll use Snell's law

From shell's law, we know that;

n = sin i/sin r = speed of light in air/Speed of light in the medium

Now, speed of light in air = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Lets speed of light in medium be V

Thus, plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Sin 40°/sin 26° = 3×10⁸/V

Let's make V the subject;

V = 3 × 10⁸× sin 26°/sin 40°

V = 2.05× 10⁸ m/s
