An object of length 2.5 cm is placed at a distance of 1.5 f from a concave mirror where f is the magnitude of the focal length of the mirror The length of the object is perpendicular to the principle axis. The length of the image is:

Answer»

5 cm, erect
10 cm, erect
15 cm, erect
5 cm, INVERTED

Solution :By using `1/O=f/(f-u)` , where I =?, O = + 2.5 cm. `f to -f`, u = -1.5f
`therefore 1/(+2.5)=(-f)/(-f-(-1.5f))implies I=-5cm` (NEGATIVE sign INDICATES that image is inverted.)
