Question

•
A convex mirror is used as a rear view mirror in a car. It has a radius of
curvature of 3 m. If another car is at a distance of 6 m from the mirror,
calculate the position and size of image if the height of car is 2 m.

Answer 1

Answer:

Given, radius of curvature, R = 3m

Object distance, u = 6 m

Image distance, v = ?

Height of the image, hi, = ? xplanation:

We know that focal,f=R/2=3/2=1.50 m

1/f-1/u=1/1.50-1/-6.00=1/1.50+1/6

=
