MCQ
A spherical mirror forms an erect image three times the linear size of the object. If the distance between the object and the image is $80\,cm$, the focal length of the mirror is........
  • A
    $15\;cm$
  • B
    $- 15\;cm$
  • $-30\;cm$
  • D
    $40\;cm$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$-30\;cm$
c
$\mathrm{u}=-\mathrm{x}$

$\mathrm{v}=3 \mathrm{x}$

$3 x+x+80$

$4 x=80 \Rightarrow x=20$

$\mathrm{u}=-20 \quad \mathrm{v}=60$

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

$\frac{1}{60}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{f}$

$f=-30 \mathrm{\,cm}$
