Concept explainers
The image position and image height.
Answer to Problem 15PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The radius of concave mirror,
The height of the object,
The object distance from the mirror,
Formula used:
The focal length of the mirror is the half of the radius of the mirror, that is,
Mirror equation,
Where,
And,
Magnification,
Where,
Calculation:
Now, the focal length of the mirror will be,
Using the given values in Mirror equation, the image distance will be,
And, the image height will be,
Negative sign denotes inverted image.
Conclusion:
Hence, the image distance is
