in an experiment to find the focal length of a concave mirror , a graph is drawn between the magnitudes of u and v ... what is the graph like?? URGENT

Expert Answer
Dear student,
Let 1/image distance = x and 1/object distance = y. and 1/ focal length = k

We know 1/image distance + 1/object distance = [1/ focal length ]
Hence
x +y = k

y = - x + k and the graph is straight line and hence the slope of this straight line is -1.

Comparing it with the equation of y = mx + c m = -1 and c = k.
Hope this helps.

It is desired to obtain an erect image of an object, using concave mirror of focal length of 15 cm. Where should we place the object? Where will the image of this object be, if it is placed at 30 cm in front of the mirror? Draw a ray diagram for this situation also to justify your answer.
