An upright image which reduced in size 10 times occurred in a mirror. If the radius of
curvature of the mirror is 2 m, bow far is the object from the mirror?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

-10/9 m

Explanation:

Radius of curvature, R=2 m

Focal length of mirror, f=R/2=2/2=1 m

Let height of object=h

Height of image, h'=h-10h=-9h

We have to find the distance of object from the mirror.

Magnification, m= [tex]\frac{h'}{h}=-\frac{v}{u}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-9h}{h}=-9[/tex]

Image is upright and small in size it means the mirror is convex.

Focal length of convex mirror is negative.

f=-1m

[tex]-9=-\frac{v}{u}[/tex]

[tex]v=9u[/tex]

Now, mirror formula

[tex]\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=-\frac{1}{f}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{9u}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1+9}{9u}=-1[/tex]

[tex]10=-9u[/tex]

[tex]u=-\frac{10}{9} m[/tex]

Hence, the distance of object  from the mirror is -10/9 m
