An object is placed between two identical convex mirrors X and Y of focal length 15 cm a themidpoint on their common principal axis. If the two mirrors are separated by a distance of 20 cm, determine thedistance of thefirst two images formed in the mirror Y .

Answer»

Solution :(i) Find THEIMAGE distance by using `1/f=1/u+1/v` Now the FIRST image formed by THEMIRROR x acts as thevirtual OBJECT for themirror 'y'.
`:.` The object distance for theformation of second image `= V_(1) = d`
Where `V_(1)`is the first image distance and 'd' is thedistance between twomirrors.
(ii) 6cm, 7.5cm
