Given, size of object,
Ho=4cm Object distance,
u=−25cm Focal length of concave mirror,
f=−15cm(i) As per formula,
f1=v1+u1⇒−151=v1+−251⇒v1=−151−−251=−151+251=375−25+15=375−10=−37.51⇒v1=−37.51⇒v=−37.5cm∴ Image is formed on object side at 37.5
cm from pole of concave mirror.
(ii) The formula for the size of an image
HOHi=−uvWhere
Hi is the size of image.
Now,
4cmHi=(−25cm)−(−37.5cm)Hi=25cm−4×37.5=−6cm ∴ Image is formed on object side at 37.5
cm from pole of concave mirror.
(ii) The formula for the size of an image
HOHi=−uvWhere
Hi is the size of image.
Now,
4cmHi=(−25cm)−(−37.5cm)Hi=25cm−4×37.5=−6cm∴ Size of image
=6cmHence, screen should place
37.5cm left side of mirror and size of image is
6cm. It is inverted and larger than object's size.
