प्रश्न
An object 5 cm is placed at a distance of 20 cm in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature 30 cm. Find the position, nature and size of the image.
उत्तर
Object distance, u = – 20 cm
Object height, h = 5 cm
Radius of curvature, R = 30 cm
Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length
R = 2f
f = `30/2`
f = 15 cm
According to the mirror formula,
`1/"f" = 1/"v" + 1/"u"`
`1/15 = 1/"v" + 1/(-20)`
`1/15 = 1/"v" - 1/20`
`1/15 + 1/20 = 1/"v"`
`1/"v" = (4 + 3)/60`
`1/"v" = 7/60`
v = `60/7`
v = 8.57 cm
The positive value of v indicates that the image is formed behind the mirror.
The positive value of magnification indicates that the image formed is virtual.
Size of the image:
m = `"h'"/"h" = -"v"/"u"`
`"h'"/5 = (-8.57)/(-20)`
20 h' = 8.57 × 5
20 h' = 42.9
h' = `42.85/20`
h' = 2.14 cm
The positive value of image height indicates that the image formed is erect.
Therefore, the image formed is virtual, erect, and smaller in size.

A student did an experiment with a convex lens. He put an object at different distances 25 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm and 120 cm from the lens. In each case he measured the distance of the image from the lens. His results were 100 cm, 24 cm, 60 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm, respectively. Unfortunately his results are written in wrong order.
