A convex mirror has radius of curvature of 20 cm. An object is placed at such a distance from the mirror that the size of image is exactly half that of the object. The object must be at :-
A. 20 cm
B. 30 cm
C. 10 cm
D. 40 cm
(a) Using the relation, `(1)/(u)+(1)/(v)=(1)/(f)`
`(1)/(v)=(1)/(f)-(1)/(u)=(1)/(-18)=(1)/((-27))`
v=-54cm
The negative sign shows that the image is formed in front of the mirror, i.e., on the side of the object itself. Thus,...
Given,R=-24 cm
Hence, `f=R/2=-12 cm`
(i) image is virtual and three times larger. Hence, u is negative and v is positive. Simultaneousely, `abs(v)=3abs(u)`. So let,
u=-x
then, v=+3x
Substituting in...
Correct Answer - D
Focal length of a convex lens by displacement method is given as, `f=(a^(2)-b^(2))/(4a)`
Where, a= distance between the image and object and b=distance between two position of...
Correct Answer - D
For the best first condition, `f_(1)=10cm u=-30cm`
then, `(1)/(f_(1))=(1)/(v)-(1)(u) Rightarrow=(1)/(v)+(1)/(30)`
`(1)/(v)=(1)/(10)-(1)/(30) Rightarrow v=(30)/(2)=15`
For the second condition, when concave lens is placed,
(where F=focal length of combination)...
Correct Answer - A
Given `f=-f Rightarrow v=(1)/(3)u`
According to the lens formula,
`(1)/(f)=(1)/(v)-(1)/(u)-(1)/(f)=(1)/((-1//2)u)+(1)/(u)-(1)/(f)`
`(-3+1)/(u)-(1)/(f)=-(2)/(u) Rightarrow u=2f`
