The focal length of a concave mirror is ...

The focal length of a concave mirror is f and the distance from the object to the principal focus is x. Then find the ratio of the size of the image to the size of the object.

A

`((f+x))/(f)`

B

`(f)/(x)`

C

`sqrt((f)/(x))`

D

`(f^(2))/(x^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`(v)/(u)=(f)/(u-f)`
`= (f)/("distance of object from focus")=(f)/(x)`.
