Question:
Linear magnification produced by a mirror is +1.5. What is the correct mirror and object position?
Linear magnification produced by a mirror is +1.5. What is the correct mirror and object position?
Show Hint
For a concave mirror, when the object is placed between \( F \) and \( 2F \), the image formed is real, inverted, and magnified, producing a positive magnification.

- It is a concave mirror with object between \( F \) and \( 2F \)
- It is a concave mirror with object between \( F \) and Pole
- It is a convex mirror with object at infinity
- It is a convex mirror with object anywhere in front of the mirror

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The magnification produced by a concave mirror is given by the relation:
\[
M = \frac{v}{u} = 1 + \frac{f}{u}
\]
Where \( v \) is the image distance, \( u \) is the object distance, and \( f \) is the focal length of the mirror.
For magnification \( M = +1.5 \), the object should be placed between \( F \) and \( 2F \) for a concave mirror.

- The distance of an object from the first focal point of a biconvex lens is \( X_1 \) and distance of the image from second focal point is \( X_2 \). The focal length of the lens is:
- In a Young's double slit experiment, two slits are located 1.5 m apart. The distance of screen from slits is 2 m and the wavelength of the source is 400 nm. If the 20 maxima of the double slit pattern are contained within the centre maximum of the single slit diffraction pattern, then the width of each slit is $ x \times 10^{-3} \, \text{cm} $, where x-value is:
- Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A) : Refractive index of glass is higher than that of air.
Reason (R) : Optical density of a medium is directly proportionate to its mass density which results in a proportionate refractive index.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below : - In a Young's double slit experiment, the source is white light. One of the slits is covered by red filter and another by green filter. In this case,
Light from a point source in air falls on a spherical glass surface (refractive index, \( \mu = 1.5 \) and radius of curvature \( R = 50 \) cm). The image is formed at a distance of 200 cm from the glass surface inside the glass. The magnitude of distance of the light source from the glass surface is 1cm.
