Question

Find the value of 'X' and 'h' in the following diagram.

A.

X = 60 cm; h = 8 cm

B.

X = 30 cm; h = 4 cm

C.

X = 20 cm; h = 6 cm

D.

X = 40 cm; h = 10 cm

Correct option is B

Given:Position of Object for concave mirror, u=15 cmRadius of curvature, R=20 cmFocal length, F=R2=10 cmSize of Object, ho=2 cm\text{Given:} \\\text{Position of Object for concave mirror, } u = -15 \, \text{cm} \\\text{Radius of curvature, } R = -20 \, \text{cm} \\\text{Focal length, } F = \frac{-R}{2} = -10 \, \text{cm} \\\text{Size of Object, } h_o = 2 \, \text{cm}

Use the mirror formula:1F=1u+1v=>110=115+1vSimplifying:1v=110115=130Hence:v=30 cmNow, using the magnification formula:hiho=vu=>hi2=(30)15hi=4 cm \text{Use the mirror formula:} \\\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{-10} = \frac{1}{-15} + \frac{1}{v} \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{-10} - \frac{1}{-15} = \frac{-1}{30} \\ \text{Hence:} \\v = -30 \, \text{cm} \\\text{Now, using the magnification formula:} \\\frac{h_i}{h_o} = \frac{-v}{u} \Rightarrow \frac{h_i}{2} = \frac{-(-30)}{-15} \\h_i = -4 \, \text{cm}​​​
