A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 10 cm. Find the location an height of the image if the distance of the object is 8cm and the height of the object is 1.5 cm, using a scaled ray diagram

Sagot :

R=10
F=R/2
F=10/2=5
F=-5(CONCAVE MIRROR)
U=-8(CONCAVE MIRROR)
HEIGHT OF OBJECT=1.5
V=?
HEIGHT OF IMAGE=?
I/F=1/U+1/V
-I/5=-1/8-1/V
-1/V=-1/5+1/8
-1/V=-8+5/40
-1/V=-3/40
1/V=3/40
V=40/3

HEIGHT OF IMAGE/HEIGHT OF OBJECT =-V/U
HEIGHT OF IMAGE=40/3*1/-8*15/10
                              =-20/8
                              =-2.5
