Question

a convex mirror used to rare view on a automobile at a radius of curvature of 2m if a truck is located of 5m from the mirror find position nature and size of image​

Answer 1

Answer:

given,

radius of curvature=2m

therefore, f= 1m

distance of object, u=-5m

solution,

To find the position of image, we need to use the mirror formula,

=1/f= 1/v+1/u

=1/v= 1/f-1/u

=1/v=1/1+1/5

=1/v=5+1/5

=1/v=6/5

v=5/6

v=0.83

therefore, the image is located 0.83m away from the mirror (position)

nature= smaller in size than the object (since the mirror used is a convex mirror) (diminished)
