Optics Question 930

Question: A point object is placed at a distance of 10cm and its real image is formed at a distance of 20cm from a concave mirror. If the object is moved by 0.1cm towards the mirror, the image will shift by about

[MP PMT 2000]

Options:

A) 0.4cm away from the mirror

B) 0.4cm towards the mirror

C) 0.8cm away from the mirror

D) 0.8cm towards the mirror

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Mirror formula 1f=1v+1u1f=120+1(10)f=203cm.

If object moves towards the mirror by 0.1cm

then. u=(100.1)=9.9cm.

Hence again from mirror formula 120/3=1v+19.9v=20.4cm i.e. image shifts away from the mirror by 0.4cm.
