Question

A concave mirror (focal length 15 cm) and a convex mirror (focal length 10 cm) are placed co-axially 70 cm apart facing each other. A 2 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the common axis 20 cm from the concave mirror. How far from the convex mirror is the final image formed by two reflections, first at concave mirror and then at convex mirror?

Solution

Correct option is

5 cm

 

The concave mirror forms a real image A’B’ of the object AB. The imageA’B’ acts as a virtual object for the convex mirror forming the final image at A”B”.

For reflection at concave mirror 

                            

                          

or                       v1 = – 60 cm

for reflection at convex mirror    

                                              

                        

or                    v2 = +5 cm.
