An infinitely long rod lies along the axis of a concave mirror of focal length \(f\). The nearer end of the rod is at a distance \(u,(u>f)\) from the mirror. Its image will have a length

  1. A \(\frac{u f}{u+f}\)
  2. B \(\frac{u f}{u-f}\)
  3. C \(\frac{f^2}{u+f}\)
  4. D \(\frac{f^2}{u-f}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{f^2}{u-f}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using mirror formula, \(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\) or, \(\frac{-1}{f}=\frac{-1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}[\therefore \mathrm{u} \& \mathrm{f}\) negative for concave mirror…
