The speed at which the image of a luminous point object is moving,if the luminous point object is moving at speed $v_0$ towards a spherical mirror along its axis,is (Given: $r =$ radius of curvature,$u =$ object distance):

  • A
    $v_1 = -v_0$
  • B
    $v_1 = -v_0 \left( \frac{r}{2u - r} \right)$
  • C
    $v_1 = -v_0 \left( \frac{2u - r}{r} \right)$
  • D
    $v_1 = -v_0 \left( \frac{r}{2u - r} \right)^2$

If an object and a plane mirror both move towards each other with a velocity of $v$,what is the velocity of the image?

An object is moving in front of a mirror as shown in the figure. Match the items in Column-$I$ with the values in Column-$II$.
$(i)$ Velocity of image $(a) \; 2 \; m/s$
$(ii)$ Velocity of image with respect to mirror $(b) \; 20 \; m/s$
$(iii)$ Velocity of image with respect to object $(c) \; 11 \; m/s$
$(iv)$ Velocity of image if mirror is stopped $(d) \; 22 \; m/s$

When an object is kept at a distance of $30\, cm$ from a concave mirror,the image is formed at a distance of $10\, cm$ from the mirror. If the object is moved with a speed of $9\, cm/s$,the speed (in $cm/s$) with which the image moves at that instant is:

$A$ plane mirror is placed along the $x$-axis facing the negative $y$-axis. The mirror is fixed. $A$ point object is moving with a velocity of $3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}$ in front of the plane mirror. Find the relative velocity of the image with respect to the object.

An object is moving with a velocity of $2 \ m/s$ to the left,and a plane mirror is moving with a velocity of $9 \ m/s$ to the right. Find the velocity of the image with respect to the ground.
