An object 5 cm in length is placed at a distance of 20 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 30 cm. Find the position of the image ,it's nature and size

Expert Answer
When the object lies along the principle axis, then its longitudinal magnification m = (v/u)2
where u is the mirror-to-object distance and v is mirror-to-image distance.
length of image Li = [ f / (u-f) ]2 Lo .....................(1)
where f is focal length of mirror and Lo is length of object
position is obtained from mirror equation :- (1/v) + (1/u) = 1/f .......................(2)
if radius of curvature is 30 cm , then f = 15 cm
Hence from eqn.(2), we have, 1/v = (1/15) - (1/20) = (1/60) or v = 60 cm
lateral size Li is obtained from eqn.(1), hence Li = [ 15/ (20-15) ]2 × 5 = 45
image is magnified and real
