Concept explainers
The image distance and its characteristics.
Answer to Problem 17P
Solution:
The image is formed at 2.0 cm behind the tree ball. It will be upright, virtual and smaller than the object’s height.
Explanation of Solution
Given Info:
Image is upright.
Let height of object be and height of image be
Object distance
Radius of curvature R = – 4.4 cm
Focal length of convex mirror f = – 2.2 cm
Let image distance be ‘v’
Formula Used:
(i)Apply focal length formula for mirror
(ii)Magnification of mirror
Here, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.
Calculation:
Apply focal length formula for mirror
Apply magnification of mirror
Hence the image is formed at 2.0 cm behind the tree ball. It will be upright, virtual and smaller the object’s height.
