The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze each case in the question and calculate the magnification for the given object placements in relation to the convex and concave mirrors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Magnification Formula**: The magnification (M) for mirrors is given by the formula: \[ M = \frac{h'}{h} = \frac{f}{f - u} \] where: - \( h' \) is the height of the image, - \( h \) is the height of the object, - \( f \) is the focal length, - \( u \) is the object distance (taken as negative in mirror conventions). 2. **Case A**: An object is placed at a distance equal to the focal length from the pole before a convex mirror. - For a convex mirror, the focal length \( f \) is positive. - Given \( u = -f \). - Substitute into the magnification formula: \[ M = \frac{f}{f - (-f)} = \frac{f}{f + f} = \frac{f}{2f} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \] - **Match**: A matches with q (Magnification is 0.5). 3. **Case B**: An object is placed at the focus before a concave mirror. - For a concave mirror, the focal length \( f \) is negative. - Given \( u = -f \). - Substitute into the magnification formula: \[ M = \frac{f}{f - (-f)} = \frac{f}{f + f} = \frac{f}{0} = \infty \] - **Match**: B matches with p (Magnification is ∞). 4. **Case C**: An object is placed at the center of curvature before a concave mirror. - The center of curvature is at \( u = -2f \). - Substitute into the magnification formula: \[ M = \frac{f}{f - (-2f)} = \frac{f}{f + 2f} = \frac{f}{3f} = \frac{1}{3} \] - **Match**: C matches with r (Magnification is 1/3). 5. **Case D**: An object is placed at a distance equal to the radius of curvature before a convex mirror. - The radius of curvature \( R = 2f \) for a convex mirror, hence \( u = -2f \). - Substitute into the magnification formula: \[ M = \frac{f}{f - (-2f)} = \frac{f}{f + 2f} = \frac{f}{3f} = \frac{1}{3} \] - **Match**: D matches with s (Magnification is -1). ### Final Matches: - A → q (Magnification is 0.5) - B → p (Magnification is ∞) - C → r (Magnification is 1/3) - D → s (Magnification is -1)
