A converging mirror forms a real image of height 4 cm, of an object of height 1 cm placed 20 cm away from the mirror. calculate the image distance, wht is the focal length of the mirror
Answers
# Converging mirror is actually concave mirror!
hi = 4cm
ho = 1cm
u=-20cm
(a) v=?
hi/ho=-v/u
where,
hi=height of the image
ho=height of the object
v=distance of the image from the mirror
u=distance of the object from the mirror
4/1=-v/-20
4 = v/20
v = 80cm
Let focal length of the mirror to be 'f'
1/f = 1/v + 1/u
1/f = 1/80 + 1/(-20)
1/f = 1/80 - 1/ 20
1/f = -3/80
f = -80/3 cm
OR
Given :-
Image height (hi) = - 4cm
Object height (ho) = + 1cm
Object distance (u) = - 20cm
To find :-
Image distance (v)
Focal length (f)
Solution :-
According to the Mirror Magnification
→ m = -v/u = hi/ho
→ -v/u = hi/ho
→ -v/(-20) = -4/1
→ v/20 = -4
→ v = - 80cm
Now, according to Mirror Formula
→ 1/v + 1/u = 1/f
→ -1/80 + (-1)/20 = 1/f
→ -1/80 - 1/20 = 1/f
→ -1 - 4/80 = 1/f
→ 1/f = -5/80
→ 1/f = -1/16
→ f = -16cm
Hence,
Image distance = -80cm
Focal length = - 16cm
