Concept explainers
The radius of curvature of the concave mirror.
Answer to Problem 82A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The magnification produced by the mirror,
The object distance from the mirror,
Formula used:
Mirror equation,
Where,
And,
Magnification,
Where,
The relation between the radius of curvature of mirror
Calculation:
Using the magnification formula, the image distance will be,
Using the given and calculated values in Mirror equation, the focal length of the mirror will be,
Then, the radius of curvature of the concave mirror will be,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the radius of curvature of the concave mirror is
