Question

An object of length 2.5 cm is placed at a distance of 1.5f from a concave mirror where f is the magnitude of the focal length of the mirror. The length of the object is perpendicular to the principal axis. Find the length of the image. Is the image erect or inverted?

                                                                                                   

Solution

Correct option is

I = - 5 cm

 

                  O = + 2.5 cm 

                   u = –1.5 f

                    f = – f 

Use,  

             

We will get,  

                   I = – 5 cm
