A concave mirror produces an image of an object such that the distance between the object and image is 20 cm . If the magnification of the image is ' -3 ', then the magnitude of the radius of curvature of the mirror is :
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(15\mathrm{~cm}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & m=-3=-\frac{u}{v} \\ & u=-x \\ & v=-3 x \\ & \Rightarrow 2 x=20 \mathrm{~cm}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & x=10 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & f=\frac{u V}{u+V}=\frac{(-10)(-30)}{(-10)+(-30)}=-7.5 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & f=-\frac{R}{2} \\ & R=-2 f=15 \mathrm{~cm}\end{aligned}\)
