An Object is kept at 30cm from concave mirror of focal length 20cm.If mirror starts moving
None

An Object is kept at 30cm from concave mirror of focal length 20cm.If mirror starts moving towards the object with velocity 2cm/s then find instantaneous velocity of image.

for concave mirror
 
1/u + 1/v = 1/f
differentiating
-1/u^2du/dt - 1/v^2dv/dt = 0
=> velocity of image = - (v/u)^2velocity of object
Note:both are w.r.t to mirror
 
now to find v we use the mirror equation
1/v + 1/(-30) = 1/(-20)
=> 1/v = 1/30 - 1/20 = -1/60
so v = -60
so (v/u)^2 = (60/30)^2 = 4
 
so velocity of image w.r.t mirror = -4*2 = -8cm/sec
 
so velocity of image w.r.t ground = -8 - 2 = -10cm/sec
 
so velocity of image is 10cm/sec in the same direction as the velocity of mirror
