In front of one of the mirrors, they looked very funny. Their faces were normal, their bellies were fat and legs were short. Akhil’s younger brother was frightened and tried to hit the mirror with his foot. However, Akhil stopped him to do so. (i) Name the type of mirror in front of which Akhil and his brother were standing. (ii) What is the cause of distortion of their images? (iii) What values are shown by Akhil? 11. A lady visited a shopping store with her friend. The owner of the store had fixed number of mirrors at different locations to monitor the activities of the customers. The lady picked up some items of makeup and placed those items in her purse thinking that no one is watching her activity. But her friend asked her not to do so. The lady ignored her friend. When the lady came to the counter, the owner of the shop asked her to open her purse. She was humiliated in front of other customer and her friend. (i) Name the type of mirror fixed in the shop. (ii) Why was the lady asked by her friend not to place the makeup items in her purse? (iii) Why was the lady humiliated by the owner of the shop?

Expert Answer:
(i) The mirror in front of which Akhil and his brother were standing was a combination mirror. Since, the face was normal, the upper part of the mirror was a plane mirror. The bellies appear fat. An enlarged image can be formed only by a concave mirror, and hence, the middle portion of the mirror was concave. The feet were thin and hence the lower part of the mirror was convex.
(ii) The cause of the distortion was because the mirror was composed of three different types of mirrors. Hence, light is reflected at different angles from these mirrors forming a funny distorted image of the person standing in front of it.
(iii) Akhil shows conceptually strong aptitude. He is proactive and intelligent. He is also understanding in nature.
NOTE: Kindly post the other question as a separate query.

- a) The image formed in front of the concave mirror is real, so m is negative, m = -3, u = -10 cm As m = -v/u or -3 = -v/-10 v = -30 cm By mirror formula, 1/f = 1/v + 1/u = 1/-30 + 1/-10 = -4/30 or f = -30/4 = -7.5 cm Radius of curvature, R = 2f = 2 x (-7.5) = 15cm a) The image formed in front of the concave mirror is real, so m is negative, m = -3, u = -10 cm As m = -v/u or -3 = -v/-10 v = -30 cm By mirror formula, 1/f = 1/v + 1/u = 1/-30 + 1/-10 = -4/30 or f = -30/4 = -7.5 cm Radius of curvature, R = 2f = 2 x (-7.5) = 15cm the above answer is wrong pls check it
