If the radius of curvature of a mirror is 15m and the distance of the object from the mirror is 10m. Find the distance of the image from the mirror and the magnification of the object in meter

Answer:

Data given.

focal length (f)=15m÷2=7.5m

Distance of the object(U)=10m

Image distance (v)=?

Magnification (M)=?

Solution:

From:

1/f=1/u+1/v

1/7.5=1/10+1/v=75

then v=75m

Magnification, M=u/v

=75/10=7.5

Then magnification=7.5

Answer:

v = 30 m and m = 3

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of curvature of the mirror, R = 15 m

Focal length, f = 7.5 m

Object distance, u = -10 m

We need to find the image distance and the magnification of the object.

Using mirror's formula,

[tex]\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{(7.5)}+\dfrac{1}{(-10)}\\\\v=30\ m[/tex]

The magnification of the object in mirror is given by :

[tex]m=\dfrac{-v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{-30}{-10}\\\\m=3[/tex]

So, the distance of the image from the mirror and the magnification of the object are 30 m and 3 respectively.
