Question

find the hight of image hight of object = 2 cm distance of object = 30 cm in concave minnor​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the question:

Object distance, u=−30 cm

Focal length, f=−15 cm

Let the Image distance be v.

By mirror formula:

v

1

+

u

1

=

f

[4pt]

⇒

v

−30 cm

1−2

[4pt]

⇒

30 cm

[4pt]

∴v=−30 cm

Thus, screen should be placed 30 cm in front of the mirror (Centre of curvature) to obtain the real image.

Now,

Height of object, h

=2 cm

Magnification, m=

h

u

v

Putting values of v and u:

Magnification m=

2 cm

h

=−

−30 cm

−30 cm

⇒

2 cm

h

2

=−1

[4pt];

⇒h

=−1×2 cm=−2 cm

Thus, the height of the image is 2 cm and the negative sign means the image is inverted.

Thus real, inverted image of size same as that of object is formed

Thus, the height of the image is 2 cm and the negative sign means the image is inverted.

Thus real, inverted image of size same as that of object is formed.

The diagram shows image formation.
