Question

The radius of curvature of the convex mirror is 4.0 m. If the distance of the object from the mirror is 4m. Find the distance of the image from the mirror.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.34 m

Explanation:

radius of curvature (R) = 4m

Focal length = R/2 = 4/ 2 = 2m

Object distance (u) = -4m

Image distance (v) = ?

Using Mirror Formula

1/v = 1/f - 1/ u

1/v = 1/2 - 1/-4

1/v = 1/2 + 1/4

1/v = 3/4

v = 4/3

v = 1.34m

This distance of image from mirror is 1.34m.
