The image formed by a concave mirror is virtual, erect and larger only when the object is placed between the pole of the mirror and its principal focus. So correct...
Given, u=-10 cm, f=+15 cm,v=?
From mirror formula, 1/f=1/v+1/u
or 1/v=1/f=1/u
=1/v=1/15=1/(-10)=1/15+1/10=(2+3)/30
or v=30/5=+6 cm
That is image is formed at a distance of 6 cm from the mirror behind it. The image is erect...
By observing the virtual images formed by the three mirrors, we can distinguish between the mirrors as:
(i) Plane mirror will produce an image of the same size,
(ii) Concave mirror will...
A concave mirror produces a magnified image when the object is placed in front of the mirror:
(i) between its pole and focus
(ii) between the focus and centre of curvature
In case (i) the...
