Rays from sun converge at a point 15 cm in Front of a concave mirror. Where should an object be placed so that the size of image is equal to the size of the object ?
Answers
We know that from the surface of the earth, the Sun is at an infinite distance. So light rays from sun rays after the reflection from the concave mirror will converge at the focus.
From the above ray diagram it is clear that in the case of a concave mirror, the image size becomes equals to the object size when the object distance equals the radius if the curvature =twice the focal length.
In the problem, it is given that the sun rays converge at 15 cm. So, the focal length of the mirror =f = 15 cm.
In the case of a concave mirror, the size of the image and object will be the same if the object is placed at 2f.
∴ In this case, the object must be placed at 2f.
So substituting the value of f = 15 cm, we get
Object distance =2×f=2×15=30 cm
