Use the mirror equation to show that an object placed between `f and 2f` of a concave mirror forms an image beyond `2f`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `u = - (3f)/(2)` ,
When object lies between `f and 2 f`
From mirror equation
`(1)/(v)+(1)/(u)=(1)/(f)`
`(1)/(v)=(1)/(f)-(1)/(u)=(-1)/(f) + (2)/(3 f) = (-3 + 2)/(3 f) = -(1)/(3f)`
For concave mirror, `f` is neg.
`v = -3 f`
i.e., distance of image from the concave mirror is `3 f`, i.e., image formed is beyond `2 f`.

Use the mirror equation to show that : (a) an object placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror produces a real image beyond 2f. (b) a convex mirror always produces a virtual image independent of the location of the object. (c) an object placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror produces a virtual and enlarged image.

Use the mirror equation to deduct that : (a) an object between f and 2f of a concave mirror produces a real image beyond 2 f . (b) a convax mirror always produces a virtual image independent of the location of the object. ( c) the virtual image produced by a convex mirror is always diminished in size and is located between the focus and the pole. (d) an object placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror produces a virtual and enlarged image.
