Question

An object is placed at 35 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 70 cm
turn of image formed. determine the position and nature of image formed.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given,

Radius of curvature, R=40cm

Object distance, u=30cm

Object height, h

o

=3cm

The focal length of the mirror=f=−

2

R

=−20cm

From mirror equation,

v

u

=

f

⟹

v

⟹v=−60cm

The magnification, M=

u

−v

=−

−30

=−2

Hence the image is inverted, enlarged, real and its size is 2×3cm=6cm.
