One hard and stormy night you find yours...

One hard and stormy night you find yourself lost in the forest when you come upon a small hut. Entering it you see a crooked old woman in the corner hunched over a crystal ball. You are about to make a hasty exit when you hear the howl of wolves outside. Taking another look at the gyspy you decide to take your chances with the wolves, but the door is jammed shut. Resigned to a bad situation you approach her slowly, wondering just what is the focal length of that nifty crystal ball.
The image of old lady is

A

real , inverted and enlarged

B

erect, virtual and small

C

erect, virtual and magnified

D

real , inverted and small

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Total magnification = `m_(1)m_(2) = ((mu_(1)v_(1))/(mu_(2)u))((mu_(2)v)/(mu_(1)v_(1))) = (v)/(u)= "negative"`

One hard and stormy night you find yourself lost in the forest when you come upon a small hut. Entering it you see a crooked old woman in the corner hunched over a crystal ball. You are about to make a hasty exit when you hear the howl of wolves outside. Taking another look at the gyspy you decide to take your chances with the wolves, but the door is jammed shut. Resigned to a bad situation you approach her slowly, wondering just what is the focal length of that nifty crystal ball. If the crystal ball is 20 cm in diameter with R.I = 1.5 , the gypsy lady is 1.2m from the ball , where is the image of the gypsy in focus as you walk towards her?
