find the position of an object when placed in front of a concave mirror of focal length 20 cm produces a virtual image,which is twice size of object.

Answered by admin @



Answer:

The image is at distance of 20 cm from the mirror on the side opposite to that of object.

Explanation:

Given,

f = −20 and M = 2


We know that ;

\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}

= \frac{1}{v}= \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{u-f}{uf}

=v = \frac{uf}{u-f}


We know,

M = - \frac{v}{u}

Substituting the value of v ,

M = - \frac{f}{u-f}

Substituting value of f = 20

M = \frac{20}{u+20}

According to question,

M = 2

\frac{20}{u+20} = 2

⇒20 = 2u + 40

⇒ u = − 10.

v = \frac{uf}{u-f}

v = \frac{10*20}{-10+20}  = 20

Hence,

The image is at distance of 20 cm from the mirror on the side opposite to that of object.
