A concave mirror forms an image of the sun at a distance of 12 cm from it.

A

the radius of curvature of this mirror is 6cm

B

to use it as a shaving mirro, it can be held at a distance of 8-10cm from the face

C

it an object is kept at a distance of 24cm from it, the image formed will be of the same size as the object

D

all the above alternative are correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b.,c.

Image of sun will be formed at the focus of mirro. Hence, focal length of mirro `=12cm`. To use it or shaving purpose, face should be between focus and pole, so that virtual image can be formed.
