An object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, the displacement of the image will beAn object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. If the object is displacedAn object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. If the object is displaced

Options

  1. A30 cm towards the mirror
  2. B36 cm away from the mirror
  3. C30 cm away from the mirror
  4. D36 cm towards the mirror

Correct answer

B. 36 cm away from the mirror

Step-by-step solution

An object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. If the object is displaced

By mirror formula,v1=ufu−f=(−40)(−15)−40+15=600−25=−24cm{v}_{1} = \dfrac{uf}{u - f} = \dfrac{\left(- 40\right)\left(- 15\right)}{- 40 + 15} = \dfrac{600}{- 25} = - 24cm

An object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. If the object is displaced

When object is displaced by 20 cm towards mirror v2=ufu−f=(−20)(−15)−20+15=−60cm{v}_{2} = \dfrac{uf}{u - f} = \dfrac{\left(- 20\right)\left(- 15\right)}{- 20 + 15} = - 60cm

Displacement of image =v2−v1=−36cm= {v}_{2} - {v}_{1} = - 36cm

= 36 cm away from the mirror
