A concave mirror for face viewing has a focal length of 0.4 m . The distance at which you hold the mirror from your face in order to see your image upright with a magnification of 5 is
Options
- A1.60 m
- B0.16 m
- C0.32 m
- D0.24 m
Correct answer
C. 0.32 m
Step-by-step solution
m = 5 = - v u                 ⇒ v = - 5 u f = - 0 .4   m From mirror formula, 1 v + 1 u = 1 f 1 - 5 u + 1 u = 1 - 0 .4 - 1 + 5 5 u = 1 - 0 .4 u = 4 5 - 0 .4 = - 0 .32   m So, distance of object from mirror = 0.32   m
