प्रश्न
A concave mirror has a focal length of 4 cm and an object 2 cm tall is placed 9 cm away from it. Find the nature, position and size of the image formed.
उत्तर
Distance of the object from the mirror 'u' = −9cm
Height of the object 'ho' = 2 cm
Focal length of the mirror 'f' = −4 cm
We have to find the distance of the image 'v' and height of the image 'hi'.
Using the mirror formula, we get
`1/f=1/v+1/u`
`1/-4=1/v+1/-9`
`1/-4=1/v-1/9`
`1/9-1/4=1/v`
`(4-9)/36=1/v`
`-5/36=1/v=(-1)/7.2`
v=7.2 cm
Therefore, distance of the image 'v' is 7.2 cm.
Now, using the magnification formula, we get
`m=h_i/h_o=-v/u`
`h_i/H_o=-((-7.2))/-9`
`h_i/2=((-7.2))/-9`
`h_-i=(2xx(-7.2))/9`
`h_i=-1.6 cm`
Thus, the height of the image 'hi' is 1.6 cm.
Again, using the magnification formula, we get
`m=-v/u`
`m=-(-7.2)/-9`
m=-0.8
Thus, the image is real, inverted and small in size.

A student has focused the image of a candle flame on a white screen using a concave mirror. The situation is as given below:
Length of the flame = 1.5 cm
Distance of flame from the mirror = 18 cm
If the flame is perpendicular to the principal axis of the mirror, then calculate the following:
- Distance of the image from the mirror
- Length of the image
If the distance between the mirror and the flame is reduced to 10 cm, then what would be observed on the screen? Draw ray diagram to justify your answer for this situation.
