Q.

An object is placed at a distance of 12cm from a concave mirror. The image formed will be real and four times larger than the object. Find out the distance of the image from the mirror. An object is placed 24cm from a concave mirror. The image formed will be inverted and double the size of the object. [[1]] the focal length of the mirror and the position where the image will be formed.

Detailed Solution

The growth formula can be written as,
m=hiho=-vu
When hi is the frame of the built-in image, ho is the height of the object set, v be the distance of the built image and u be the distance of the object placed in front of the mirror.
It is said that the distance to the image in the first case is,
u = −12cm
And the growth produced will be,
m = −4

So, let's place the values ​​in it,
m=-4=-vu

-4=-v-12

From this point, the image range will be available as,

v=-48cm
In the next case, the object is set as far away as,

u=-24cm
Image enlargement will be

m=hiho=-21=-vu
So let's change the distance of the object to it,
m=-2=-v-24

In these figures we will find the final speed as,
v=-48cm
Now let's find the focus length using the screen equation provided as,
1f=1v+1u
When f be the focal length of the mirror. Let's change the values ​​in it,
1f=1-48+1-24

1f=-348=-116
By taking a reciprocal equation,
f=-16cm
