Two identical objects are placed in front of convex mirror and concave mirror having same radii of curvature of 12 cm , at same distance of 18 cm from the respective mirrors. The ratio of sizes of the images formed by convex mirror and by concave mirror is :

Options

A $1 / 2$
B2
C3
D $1 / 3$

Correct answer

A. $1 / 2$

Step-by-step solution

\begin{aligned} & \text{ Using } m=\frac{f}{u-f} \\ & m_1=\frac{6}{18-6}=\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}

\mathrm{m}_2=\frac{6}{18+6}=\frac{1}{4} \quad \therefore \frac{\mathrm{ m}_2}{\mathrm{ m}_1}=\frac{1}{2}$
