Question

Chapter 34, Problem 017 More mirrors. Object O stands on the central axis of a spherical or plane mirror. For this situation (The table below. All distances are in centimeters.), find (a) the radius ot curvature r (nonzero number or 0 if infinity), (b) the image distance i, (c) the lateral magnification m, whether (d) the image is real or virtual, (e) inverted or noninverted from O, and (f) on the same side of the mirror as object O or on the opposite side. Type f Pm RN I/NI Side Concave 24 +13 (a) Number (b) Number (c) Number Units Units Units

Explanation / Answer

a)

r= 2f= 48 cm

======

b)

Using mirror formula

1/f= 1/v-1/u

-1/24= - 1/v -1/13

v= - 8.432 cm

==========

c)

Magnification

m= v/u= - 8.432/13= 0.65

=========

d) image is virtual in nature.

========

e) image is non inverted also called erect image.

========

f) opposite side

======

Comment in case any doubt.. good luck
