A Convex mirror produces the magnification \( \frac{1}{3} \) and \( \frac{1}{4} \) when the object is placed at the points P and Q in front of the mirror.

  1. A P is far from the mirror as compared to Q.
  2. B Q is far from the mirror as compared to P.
  3. C P and Q both are coinciding
  4. D Convex mirror produces the magnification always greater than 1.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Q is far from the mirror as compared to P.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( m = \frac{f}{f+u} \implies u = f \left( \frac{1-m}{m} \right) \) \( u_P = f \left( \frac{1 - \frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}} \right) = 2f \) \( u_Q = f \left( \frac{1 - \frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}} \right) = 3f \) \( u_Q > u_P \) Q is far from the mirror as compared to P.
