Question

36. Image formed by a convex mirror
is *
O Virtual
O Real
O Inverted
O Laterally inverted​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given: An object is placed at a distance of 36 cm from a convex mirror. A plane mirror is placed in between so that the two virtual images so formed coincide. If the plane mirror is at a distance of 24 cm from the object,

To find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror.

Solution:

As per the given criteria,

object distance from the convex mirror, u=36cm

distance of plane mirror from the object, d=24cm

So,

The distance of plane mirror from the convex mirror will be

34−12=12cm

The image formed by the plane mirror will be at a distance of 24cm from the plane mirror and 12 cm from the convex mirror.

Since both the images should coincide therefore the convex mirror will form image at a distance of 12cm from itself.

Therefore, u=−36cm

v=12cm

Applying the lens formula, we get

⟹f=18cm

And we know the radius of curvature, R=2f=2×18=36cm

Answer 2
