In an experiment a convex lens of focal length 15 cm is placed coaxially on an optical bench in front of a convex mirror at a distance of 5 cm from it. It is found that an object and its image coincide, if the object is placed at a distance of 20 cm from the lens. The focal length of the convex mirror is-
Options
- A20 . 0   cm
- B30 . 5   cm
- C25 . 0   cm
- D27 . 5   cm
Correct answer
D. 27 . 5   cm
Step-by-step solution
Image by Lens - - 1 - 20 + 1 v = 1 + 15 V = + 60 Distance of Image from mirror = 60 - 5 = 55   cm Path retraces when that image in at center of curvature of the mirror. Hence R = 55   cm f m i r r o r = R 2 = 27.5   cm
