(N/A) The mirror equation relates the object distance $(u)$,the image distance $(v)$,and the focal length $(f)$ of a spherical mirror. It is given by the formula:
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$
Where:
$f$ is the focal length of the mirror.
$v$ is the distance of the image from the pole of the mirror.
$u$ is the distance of the object from the pole of the mirror.

Draw the ray diagram when an object is placed between the focus $(F)$ and the pole $(P)$ of a concave mirror.

An object and a concave mirror of focal length $f=10 \text{ cm}$ both move along the principal axis of the mirror with constant speeds. The object moves with speed $V_0=15 \text{ cm s}^{-1}$ towards the mirror with respect to a laboratory frame. The distance between the object and the mirror at a given moment is denoted by $u$. When $u=30 \text{ cm}$,the speed of the mirror $V_m$ is such that the image is instantaneously at rest with respect to the laboratory frame,and the object forms a real image. The magnitude of $V_m$ is . . . . . $\text{cm s}^{-1}$.

The cross-section of a reflecting surface is represented by the equation $x^{2}+y^{2}=R^{2}$ as shown in the figure. $A$ ray travelling in the positive $x$ direction is directed toward the positive $y$ direction after reflection from the surface at point $M$. The coordinate of the point $M$ on the reflecting surface is
