Two identical concave mirrors each of focal length $ f $ are facing each other as shown. A glass slab of thickness $ t $ and refractive index $ n_0 $ is placed equidistant from both mirrors on the principal axis. A monochromatic point source $ S $ is placed at the center of the slab. For the image to be formed on $ S $ itself, which of the following distances between the two mirrors is/are correct:
Derivatives are defined as a function's changing rate of change with relation to an independent variable. When there is a changing quantity and the rate of change is not constant, the derivative is utilised. The derivative is used to calculate the sensitivity of one variable (the dependent variable) to another one (independent variable). Derivatives relate to the instant rate of change of one quantity with relation to another. It is beneficial to explore the nature of a quantity on a moment-to-moment basis.
Few formulae for calculating derivatives of some basic functions are as follows:
