Question

a concave mirror of radius of curvature 36cm is fixed to a stand and placed on a table how far is an object from the mirror of an image is formed that is a) real and 6 times the size of the object b) real and 3 times the size of the object c) virtual and 3 times the size of the object​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

It is given that,

Magnification

m=3

m=

u

−v

f=

2

R

=−18cm

It is given that a virtual image three times the size of the object is obtained with a concave mirror. So, v=−3u

From mirror’s formula

v

u=−12cm

The distance of the object from the mirror u=12cm in front of concave mirror.
