An object is positioned between two plane mirrors inclined at right angles to each other. The object is 1 unit distance from each mirror, the number of images formed is

A.

1

B.

2

C.

3

D.

4

E.

5

Correct answer is C

No. of image formed = \(\frac{360}{\theta}\) - 1

= \(\frac{360}{90}\) - 1

= 3 images

An object 1cm high placed on the axis 15cm from a converging lens forms an image 30cm from the lens. The size of the image is

A.

0.5cm

B.

1.5cm

C.

3cm

D.

2.5cm

E.

2cm

Correct answer is E

\(\frac{\text{image distance}}{\text{object distance}}\) = \(\frac{\text{image height}}{\text{object height}}\)

\(\frac{30}{15}\) = \(\frac{\text{image height}}{1}\)

image height = 2cm

A herdsman yelling out to fellow herdsman heard his voice reflected by cliff 4s later. What is the velocity of sound in air if the cliff is 680m away?

A.

170ms-1

B.

136ms-1

C.

340ms-1

D.

680ms-1

E.

510ms-1

Correct answer is C

Velocity = \(\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}\)

echo time = halt total time

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 4 = 25

velocity = \(\frac{680}{2}\)

= 340ms-1
