प्रश्न
The magnification produced when an object is placed at a distance of 20 cm from a spherical mirror is +1/2. Where should the object be placed to reduce the magnification to +1/3.
उत्तर
- We know that magnification (M) is given by the formula: M = -v/u, where v is the image distance and u is the object distance.
- We are given that M = +1/2 and u = -20 cm (since the object is placed in front of the mirror). Substituting these values into the formula, we get: +1/2 = -v/-20. Solving for v, we find v = +10 cm.
- Now, we need to find the new object distance (u') to achieve a magnification of +1/3. Using the same formula, we have: +1/3 = -v/u'. We know that v remains the same (v = +10 cm). Therefore, we can solve for u': +1/3 = -10/u'. Solving for u', we get u' = -30 cm.
- The object should be moved from its initial position of -20 cm to a new position of -30 cm.

A student has obtained an image of a distant object on a screen to determine the focal length F1 of the given lens. His teacher, after checking the image, gave him another lens of focal length F2 and asked him to focus the same object on the same screen. The student found that to obtain a sharp image, he has to move the lens away from the screen. From this finding, we may conclude that both the lenses given to the student were :
(A) Concave and F1 < F2
(B) Convex and F1 < F2
(C) Convex and F1 > F2
(D) Concave and F1 > F2
