Question 1:
Find the focal length of a convex mirror whose radius of curvature is 32 cm.
Answer:
Radius of curvature, R = 32 cm
Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length (f)
R = 2f
Hence, the focal length of the given convex mirror is 16 cm.
Question 2:
A concave mirror produces three times magnified (enlarged) real image of object placed at 10 cm in front of it. Where is the image located?
Answer:
Magnification produced by a spherical mirror is given by the relation,
Let the height of the object, ho = h
Then, height of the image, hI = −3h (Image formed is real)
Object distance, u = −10 cm
v = 3 × (−10) = −30 cm
Here, the negative sign indicates that an inverted image is formed at a distance of 30 cm in front of the given concave mirror.
