a distant tree. 

hope it helps!!


dainvincible1: yes..bt both da answers r different
rudeawakening: a distant tree's image can be easily taken on the screen and is easier to write observations.
dainvincible1: u've a point
dainvincible1: logical point..n she has practical point
rudeawakening: we have performed the experiment n lab
dainvincible1: ohhh
rudeawakening: same pinch!! I'm bit theoretical not practical
dainvincible1: yeess
rudeawakening: though good luck with it !!
dainvincible1: yees....

(2) class room window. The focal length of the mirror can be calculated correctly only when we know the object distance and the image distance correctly for experiment. In case of a tree, electric pole, distant building, grills etc the object distance are not known correctly. Also in any of these the object distance is not infinite. So, the best option is class room window. The distance of the window of the mirror can be measured easily using a scale and a sharp image can be formed on a screen. Measuring the image distance we can easily calculate the focal length of the concave mirror.

dainvincible1: can u tell y
Anonymous: Debating type of question
dainvincible1: you've done wrong...n seen the answer wrong..
rudeawakening: yeah an object even can be at infinity
dainvincible1: So, the correct option is d (a burning candle placed at the distant edge of the laboratory table).....it was written kinda something like this
rudeawakening: so we can take object at infinity
rudeawakening: where's d?
dainvincible1: idk.....i'm very weak at physics
appal: please give right answer. I am confused.
