Question 15
1 / -0

A 4.5 cm long needle is placed 12 cm away from a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. Give the location of the image and the magnification.

A
6.7 cm; 0.56

B
7.6 cm; 0.23

C
8.3 cm; 0.12

D
9.2 cm; 0.92

Solution

Height of the needle, h₁ = 4.5 cm
Object distance, u = − 12 cm
Focal length of the convex mirror, f = 15 cm
Image distance = v
The value of v can be obtained using the mirror formula:

Hence, the image of the needle is 6.7 cm away from the mirror. Also, it is on the other side of the mirror.
The image size is given by the magnification formula:

The height of the image is 2.5 cm. The positive sign indicates that the image is erect, virtual and diminished.
