Question

An object 1.0 cm tall is placed 8 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 24 cm. What is the size and the nature of the image?

Solution

Correct option is

3.0 cm, virtual

 

The positive sign shows that the image is virtual.   

                  

                         

  

The positive sign shows that the image is erect. Thus the image is erect, virtual, 3.0 cm tall and is formed 24 cm behind the mirror.
