A short straight object of height 100 cm lies before the central axis of a spherical mirror whose focal length has absolute value f = 40 cm . The image of object produced by the mirror is of height 25 cm and has the same orientation of the object. One may conclude from the information:
Options
- AImage is real, same side of convex mirror.
- BImage is virtual, opposite side of concave mirror.
- CImage is real, same side of concave mirror.
- DImage is virtual, opposite side of convex mirror.
Correct answer
D. Image is virtual, opposite side of convex mirror.
Step-by-step solution
Since orientation is same image is virtual. Since image is smaller the mirror has to be convex
