1.

An erect image 3 times the size of the object is obtained with a concave mirror of radius of curvature 36 cm.find the position of the object

Answer»

Given,
R=36 CM
or f=-36/2=-18 cm (It is a concave mirror)
magnification, m=h' /h=3=-v/u
or v=-3u
Now, USING the mirror formula,
1/f=1/v + 1/u
-1/18=-1/3u + 1/u
or OBJECT DISTANCE, u=-12 cm
