A concave mirror of focal length \(10\) cm forms an image which is double the size of object when the object is placed at two different positions. The distance between the two positions of the object is __________ cm.
- A 5
- B 10
- C 45
- D 55
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 10
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given focal length of the concave mirror, \(f = -10\) cm. The image is double the size of the object, so the magnification can be \(m = \pm 2\). Using the magnification formula in terms of focal length and object distance: \(m = \dfrac{f}{f - u}\) Case 1: For a real image,…
