SHort Answer Quetsions
Question 1
(a) What is lateral inversion? Explain by giving suitable example.
(b) How would the letter ‘F’ appear in front of plane mirror? Question 2
At what distance from a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm should an object 2 cm long be placed in order to get erect image 6 cm tall.
Answer
f = -10 cm
$h_o = 2$ cm
$h_i=6$ cm
Magnification
$m = \frac {h_i}{h_o} = \frac {6}{2} = 3$ (erect image)
Now it is also given as
$m = -\frac {v}{u}$
$3 = -\frac {v}{u} $
v = -3u
Mirror formula
$\frac {1}{u} + \frac {1}{v} = \frac {1}{f}$
$ \frac {1}{-3u} + \frac {1}{u} = \frac {1}{-10}$
u = -20/3 = -6.7 cm
