Question

An object kept at a distance of 40cm from a convex mirror on its principal axis

Answer 1

Answer:

An object is placed at a distance of 40cm on the principal axis of concave mirror of radius of curvature 30cm.By how much does the image move if the object is shifted towards the mirror through 15cm.

IT WON'T K ILL U TO TYPE THE ENTIRE Q

ITS UR Q ANYWAYS

U MUST LIKE GETTING  STU PID ANS

ANS:

given that

object distance from the mirror is 40 cm

u= -40 cm

focal length of the mirror is half of the radius of curvature = -15 cm

now we have

1/v+1/u=1/f

1/v= - 1/15+1/40

v= -24cm

now when object is shifted by 15 cm towards the mirror

now the distance of object is 40 - 15 = 25 cm

again by the mirror formula

1/v+1/u=1/f

1/v= -1/15+1/25

1/v= -37.5cm

now, diff btwn image distance= -24-(-37.5)=-24+37.5

so the image will shift by 13.5 cm
