Lateral magnification of an object by spherical mirror is 0.3. If focal length of mirror is 30 cm, find type of mirror.

Answer»

concave
CONVEX
concave or convex
NONE of these

Solution :Magnification for mirror,
`m=(F)/(f-u)=(f-v)/(f)`
(1) `m=(f)/(f-u)`
`therefore 0.3 =(30)/(30-u)`
`30-u=100`
`therefore u=-70` cm
`m=(f-v)/(f)
`therefore 0.3=(30-v)/(30)`
`therefore 9 =30-v`
`therefore v=21` cm
`therefore` IMAGE obtained behind the mirror, hence convex.
