Solution
The inside portion of part of a hollow metal sphere of diameter 20cm is polished. The portion will therefore form a?
A
concave mirror of focal length 5cm
B
concave mirror of focal length 10cm
C
convex mirror of focal length 5cm
D
convex mirror of focal length 10cm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Concave Mirror: It is a spherical mirror whose outer surface is polished and inner or concave side is reflecting surface.
Convex Mirror: It is a spherical mirror whose inner surface is polished and whose outer side or convex side is the reflecting surface.
f = \(\frac{m}{4}\) = f = \(\frac{d}{4}\)
f = \(\frac{20}{4}\) = 5cm
(For metal, it is the polished side that will be the reflecting surface)

A
4
B
3
C

2nd overtone = 3\(f_0\) = 120\(H_3\)
3rd overtone = 4\(f_0\) = 160\(H_3\)
4th overtone = 5\(f_0\) = 200\(H_3\)
\(\therefore\) Number of overtones between 40\(H_3\) and 180\(H_3\) = 3
