Question

An object of height 3 cm is placed at a distance of 15 cm infront of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 10 cm. Calculate the height of image and distance of image?

Open in App
Solution

Given that,

Height h=3cm

Distance u=15cm

Radius = 10cm

Now, the focus

f=r2

f=102=5cm

Now, by using mirror equation

1f=1v+1u

15=1v115

1v=15+115

v=154cm

v=4cm

So, the image will be formed between focus and pole

Now, the magnification is

m=vu

m=415

Now,

m=hh

415=h3

h=1215

h=0.8

Hence, the height of image is 0.8 cm and distance of image is 4 cm
