A concave mirror produces an image of an object such that the distance between the object and image is 20 cm . If the magnification of the image is ' -3 ', then the magnitude of the radius of curvature of the mirror is :
Options
- A30 ~cm
- B3.75 ~cm
- C15 ~cm
- D7.5 ~cm
Correct answer
C. 15 ~cm
Step-by-step solution
aligned & m=-3=- u v & u=-x & v=-3 x & 2 x=20 ~cm aligned aligned & x=10 ~cm & f= u V u+V = (-10)(-30) (-10)+(-30) =-7.5 ~cm & f=- R 2 & R=-2 f=15 ~cm aligned
