Question

An object of size 7.0 cm is placed at 27 cm in front of aconcavemirror of focal length 18 cm At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed so that asharp focussed image is obtain Find the size and nature of the image

Answer 1

•GIVEN:-

$\bf\:➠ Object \: distance \: ,u=-27cm$

$\bf {➠Object \: height,h=7cm}$

$\bf ➠Focal \: length=-18cm$

$\bf \large\</u><u>underline</u><u>{\overline{FORMULA \: USED⇓⇓}}$

$\bf \boxed{➣ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} }$

SOLUTION :-

$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}$

$\frac{1}{v} = \bf \: \frac{1}{( - 18)} - \frac{1}{ (- 27)}$

$\frac{1}{v} = \bf \: \frac{1}{( - 18)} + \frac{1}{27}$

$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{( - 3 + 2)}{54} = \frac{ - 1 \: \: }{54 }$

$\boxed { \therefore \: v = \bf \: 54cm }$

•The screen should be placed at a distance of 54cm in front of the given mirror

$\bf \: ➽Magnification(m) = \frac{Image \: distance}{Object \: distance}$

$\bf \: m = \frac{ - 54}{ - 27} = - 2$

•Negative value of magnification shows that image is real.

$\bf \: m = \frac{Height \: of \: image}{Height \: of \: object} = \frac{h_1}{h}$

$\bf ➠h_1=m×h=(-2)×7=-14cm \\ \\ </p><p></p><p>$

➽The height of the image is negative which shows that image is inverted.
