The distance of an object from a concave spherical mirror is equal to the focal length of the mirror. Then the image.

A

must be at infinity

B

may be at infinity

C

may be at the focus

D

none

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Image formation by concave mirror when object is real & placed at focus f. forms image at infinity but not in other cases.

A buring candle is placed in front of a concave spherical mirror on its principal optical axis at a distance of (4//3)F form the pole of the mirror (here F is the focal length of the mirror). The candle is arranged at right angle to the axis. The image of the candle in the concave mirror impinges upon a convex mirror of focal length 2F . The distance between the mirrors is 3F and their axes coincide. The image of the candle in the first mirror plays the part of a virtual object with respect to the second mirror and gives a real image arranged between the two mirrors. Find the total linear magnification (magnitude only) of the system.
