Option 2 : 36 cm away from the mirror India's Super Teachers for all govt. exams Under One Roof
Concept-
There are two types of spherical mirror: 1. Concave mirror:
2. Convex mirror:
The mirror formula is given by: \(\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f}\) Where u is object distance, v is image distance and f is focal length of the mirror Explanation- Given that: Object distance (u) = - 40 cm Focal length of the concave mirror (f) = - 15 cm Use mirror formula: \(\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f}\) \(\frac{1}{{ - 40}} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{{ - 15}}\) \(\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{{40}} - \frac{1}{{15}} = \frac{{3 - 8}}{{120}} = \frac{{ - 5}}{{120}} = - \frac{1}{{24}}\) Image distance (v) = - 24 cm Now object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror; New object distance (u’) = - (40 - 20) = - 20 cm Focal length (f) = -15 cm Use mirror formula: \(\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f}\) \(\frac{1}{{ - 20}} + \frac{1}{{v'}} = \;\frac{1}{{ - 15}}\) \(\frac{1}{{v'}} = \frac{1}{{20}} - \frac{1}{{15}} = \frac{{3 - 4}}{{60}} = - \frac{1}{{60}}\) New image distance (v’) = - 60 cm Displacement of the image = |v’| - |v | = 60 - 24 = 36 cm away from the mirror.India’s #1 Learning Platform Start Complete Exam Preparation
