You place an object 30.0 cm from a concave mirror of 15.0 cm focal length. The object is 1.8 cm tall. Find the image position and image height.

Answer :

Answer:30 cm

Explanation:

Given

object distance [tex]u=30\ cm[/tex]

focal length of concave mirror [tex]f=15\ cm[/tex]

height of object [tex]h_o=1.8\ cm[/tex]

Using mirror formula

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{30}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{2-1}{30}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow v=30\ cm[/tex]

and magnification is

[tex]\Rightarrow m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{h_i}{h_o}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{-30}{30}=\frac{h_i}{1.8}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow h_i=-1.8\ cm[/tex]

So height of object is same as of object .

Position :image is formed at the spot where object is placed.
