Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation by a concave mirror when the object is kept between its focus and the pole. Using this diagram, derive the magnification formula for the image formed.

Answer»

Solution :RAY diagram, showing the image formation by a concave mirror when the object AB is KEPT between its focus F and the pole P, is given in Fig. 9.33. The image A.B. is a virtual, erect and magnified image.
CONSIDER `DeltaABP`and `triangleA.B.P`. Obviously, the triangles are SIMILAR triangles. Hence, we have PB `=-u`
`PB. =+v, AB =h` and `A.B. =h.`
`THEREFORE h^(.)/h=(+v)/(-u)`
`therefore` Linear magnification of image formed `mh^(.)/h =-v/u`
