A particle moves in a circular path of radius 5 cm in a plane perpendicular to the principla axis of a xonvex mirror with radius of curvature 20cm. The object is 15cm in front of the mirror. Calculate the radius of the circular path of the image.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`u=-15cm, f=(+20)/(2)=10cm`
`(1)/(-15)+(1)/(v)=(1)/(10)`
`(1)/(v)=(1)/(10)+(1)/(15)rArrv=6cm`
`m=-(v)/(u)=(h_(2))/(h_(1))`
`(-6)/(-15)=(h_(2))/(5)rArr h_(2)=2cm`
So, radius of circulart path of the image is 2 cm.
