A convex mirror of radius of curvature 1.6m has an object placed at a distance of 1m from it. The image is formed at a distance of

A

`8//13m` in fron of the mirror

B

`8//13m` behind the mirror

C

`4//9` m in front of the mirror

D

`4//9m` behind the mirror

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d.

`f=(1.6)/(2)m=0.8m, u=-1m`
`(1)/(v)=(1)/(0.8)-(1)/(-1)=(10)/(8)+1=(18)/(8)=(9)/(4)`
or `v=(4)/(9)m`
