A convex mirror of radius of curvature \(30 \mathrm{~cm}\) forms an image that is half the size of the object. The object distance is :
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(-15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \text { Given } R=30 \mathrm{~cm} \)
\( \mathrm{f}=\mathrm{R} / 2=+15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Magnification \((\mathrm{m})= \pm \frac{1}{2}\)
For convex mirror, virtual image is formed for real object.
Therefore, \(\mathrm{m}\) is +ve
\( \frac{1}{2}=\frac{f}{f-u} \)
\( u=-15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
