The direction of a ray of light incident on a concave mirror is shown by $PQ$, where $PQ$ is parallel to the principal axis. The direction in which the ray would travel after reflection is shown by four rays marked as $A$, $B$, $C$ and $D$. Which of the four rays correctly shows the direction of the reflected ray?

  • A
    $D$
  • B
    $C$

$A$ driver sitting inside a parked car is watching vehicles approaching from behind with the help of a side-view mirror,which is a convex mirror with a radius of curvature $R = 2 \ m$. Another car approaches from behind with a uniform speed of $90 \ km/h$. When the car is at a distance of $24 \ m$ from the mirror,the magnitude of the acceleration of the image in the side-view mirror is $a$. The value of $100a$ is $m/s^2$.
