Part (a) To Determine:
The distance between concave mirror of given mirror.
Answer to Problem 25P
Solution:
(i)The distance between concave mirror
Explanation of Solution
Given Info:
Let object distance be and image distance be
Let the focal length and radius of curvature of concave mirror be ‘f’ and ‘r’.
Formula Used:
(i)Apply focal length formula for mirror
Here, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.
Calculation:
Consider the distance between wall (where image is formed)and concave mirror is ‘x’. Let ‘r’ be radius of curvature. Hence, the image distance ‘v’ will be ‘D’.
Since the object is placed exactly at the distance ‘r’ from the wall. So, object distance from the mirror will be ‘u’ = D – r
Now, apply focal length formula for mirror
Since the value D will never be less than 2f then we will consider only positive sign.
Hence, the distance between mirror and wall be
Part (b) To Determine:
The magnification of given mirror.
Answer to Problem 25P
Solution:
(ii)The magnification of concave mirror
