A concave mirror gives an image three times as large as its object placed at a distance of 20 cm from it. For the image to be real, the focal length should be :

Answer»

10 cm
15 cm
20 cm
30 cm.

Solution :(b) `m = (-v)/(u) = (h_(2))/(h_(1)) = 3`
u = - 20 cm, f = ?
`therefore v = - 3u`
By mirror formula,
`(1)/(v) + (1)/(u) = (1)/(f)`
`therefore - (1)/(3u) - (1)/(u) = (-1)/(f) RARR f = 15 cm`
