A finite size object is placed normal to the principal axis at a distance of 30 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 30 cm. A plane mirror is now placed in such a way that the image produced by both the mirrors coincide with each other. The distance between the two mirrors is :

  1. A 45 cm
  2. B 7.5 cm
  3. C 22.5 cm
  4. D 15 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 7.5 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For Convex mirror \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}} \\ & \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{30} \\ & \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}=\frac{2}{30}=\frac{1}{15} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=15 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned}\) Image formed by…
