A child is standing in front of a magic mirror. She finds the image of her head bigger, the middle portion of her body of the same size and that of the legs smaller. The following is the order of combination for the magic mirror from the top
A) plane, convex and concave
B) convex, concave and plane
C) concave, plane and convex
D) convex, plane and concave
Solution
According to the question we have to find the child's image in the magic mirror. First we focus on the result of the mirror or we can say the image of the child. As mentioned in the question her head is bigger, the middle portion of her body of the same size or unaltered and that of the legs smaller. By considering these things we chose the mirror.
Complete answer:
If the image of the child looking her head bigger and hence, the mirror must be used a concave mirror. A concave mirror here is producing an enlarged and erect mirror. Her middle portion of body is not changed or unaltered and hence, the middle part of the mirror must be used as a plane mirror. Her legs looking in the mirror is small.l in other words, the bottom part of the mirror produces a smaller image of the legs. The image is smaller since it is produced by a convex mirror. Obliviously The convex mirror produced the erect and diminished image.
Hence the correct option is C. which is mentioned concave, plane and convex.
Additional information:
∙ Magic Mirror is a powerful object first invented in Disney's 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
∙ The magic mirror is an important divination tool which is used in modern and ancient witchcraft. This is we can say one of the most mysterious, darkest and at the same time one of the least explored areas of magic. This powerful magic tool is made by using mirrors and it allows the protection of angels.
Note:
To solve this question we have to know the characteristics of these mirrors and students must practice the ray diagram which has a plane, convex and concave mirror. By using these mirrors or combinations of these mirrors we form or create a magic mirror.
