An object is placed at a distance of 20 cm from a convex mirror of radius of curvature convex cm. At what distance from theobject should a plane mirror be placed so that the images due tothemirror andthe planemirror are on the same plane?

Answer»

Solution :FOCAL length =` ("radius of curvature ")/2 = 40/2 = 20` cm
Object distance U =- 20CM(from SIGN convention)
From mirror formula,

Distance between theobject and the image is 20 + 10 = 30 cm.
Since for plane mirrorobject distance is equal to image distance, theplane mirror should be placed at a distance `30/2 = 15` cm from theobject, for theimage of theplane mirror and spherical mirror to be in the same plane.
