Part(a)To Determine:
The object’s distance
Answer to Problem 20P
Solution:
The object’s distance will be it radius of curvature.
Explanation of Solution
Given Info:
Image is formed at the same location of the object.
Nature of mirror is concave
Let height of object be and height of image be
Object distance = Image distance
Let the focal length of mirror be ‘f’
Formula Used:
Apply focal length formula for mirror
Here, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.
Calculation:
Apply focal length formula for mirror
Hence, the object should be placed at the centre of the curvature of concave mirror.
Part(b)To Determine:
Is the image real or virtual?
Answer to Problem 20P
Solution:
The image will be real.:
Explanation of Solution
Given Info:
Image is formed at the same location of the object.
Nature of mirror is concave
Let height of object be and height of image be
Object distance = Image distance
Let the focal length of mirror be ‘f’
Formula Used:
Apply focal length formula for mirror
Here, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.
Calculation:
Apply focal length formula for mirror
Since, Object distance = Image distance and both are lie in front of the concave mirror. Hence the image will be real.:
Part(c)To Determine:
Is the image inverted or upright?
Answer to Problem 20P
Solution:
The image will be inverted.:
Explanation of Solution
Given Info:
Image is formed at the same location of the object.
Nature of mirror is concave
Let height of object be and height of image be
Object distance = Image distance
Let the focal length of mirror be ‘f’
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
Since so the image will be inverted.:
Part(d)To Determine:
The magnification of the image
Answer to Problem 20P
Solution:
The magnification of the image will be – 1:
Explanation of Solution
Given Info:
Image is formed at the same location of the object.
Nature of mirror is concave
Let height of object be and height of image be
Object distance = Image distance
Let the focal length of mirror be ‘f’
Formula Used:
(i)Apply focal length formula for mirror
(ii)Magnification of mirror
Here, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.
Calculation:
Apply magnification of mirror
Magnification of mirror
