What kind of a spherical mirror must be used and what must be its radius of curvature in order to get an erect image (1)/(5) as large as an object placed 15 cm in front of it ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :m = `(1)/(5) , U = - 15 cm , m = (f)/(f - u)`
`(1)/(5) = (f)/(f - 15) "" 5f = f - 15 "" f= - 3.75` cm
Negative sign shows that the MIRROR is concave.R = 2f = 2 `xx 3.75 = 7.5` cm
