Reflection & Mirrors

An object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a distance of 1.5f1.5f (ff is the focal length). The image will be at,

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Concave mirror: f→−ff \to -f, u=−1.5fu = -1.5f.
  2. 1v=1f−1u=−1f+11.5f=−13f\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u} = -\frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{1.5f} = -\frac{1}{3f}
  3. v=−3fv = -3f (real image in front of the mirror).
  4. So the answer is (b) −3f-3f.
