In an experiment to determine the focal length \((f)\) of a concave mirror by the \(u-v\) method, a student places the object pin \(A\) on the principal axis at a distance \(x\) from the pole \(P\). The student looks at the pin and its inverted image from a distance keeping his/her eye in line with PA. When the student shifts his/her eye towards left, the image appears to the right of the object pin. Then

  1. A \(x < f\)
  2. B \(f < x < 2 f\)
  3. C \(x=2 f\)
  4. D \(x>2 f\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(f < x < 2 f\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since object and image move in opposite directions, the positioning should be as shown in the figure. Object lies between focus and centre of curvature
\(f < x < 2 f \text {. }\)
\(\therefore\) Correct option is (b).
