Question

The image of an object formed by a mirror is real,invertedand is of magnification -1.if the image is at the distance of 30cm from the mirror ,where is the object placed?find the position of the image if the object is now moved 20 cm towards the mirror.what is the nature of tye inage obtained ? Justify your answer with the help of ray diagram

Answer 1

TEMPE, Arizona—As a species of seeming feeble, naked apes, we humans are unlikely candidates for power in a natural world where dominant adaptations can boil down to speed, agility, jaws and claws. Why we rose to rule, while our hominin relatives died out, has long been a curiosity for scientists.

The study of our human nature encompasses a variety of fields ranging from anthropology, primatology, cognitive science and psychology to paleontology, archaeology, evolutionary biology and genetics.

Representatives of each of these disciplines gathered February 19-22 at a workshop, "Origins of Human Uniqueness and Behavioral Modernity," staged by Arizona State University's Origins Project to discuss recent advances in their respective fields.

Answer 2

Answer:

+ 30 cm

Explanation:

Given :

Magnification = - 1

Image distance = 30 cm

We know

m = - v / u

- 1 = 30 / u

u = - 30 cm

Now we have ,

1 / f = 1 / v + 1 / u

1 /  f = 1 / - 30 - 1 / 30

f = - 15 cm

When object moved 20 cm

u' = - 30 + 20 = - 10 cm

We have f = - 15 cm

We have to find new image distance v'

Again ,

1 / f = 1 / v' + 1 / u'

- 1 / 15 = 1 / v' - 1 / 10

1 / v' = 1 / 30

v' = 30.

Nature of image as :

Virtual

Erect

Magnified.
