Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{R} /(2 \mu-1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
-\frac{1}{f_{e q}} & =\frac{2}{f_l}-\frac{1}{f_m} \\
& =2(\mu-1) \frac{2}{R}+\frac{2}{R} \\
-\frac{1}{f_{e q}} & =\frac{2(2 \mu-1)}{R} \\
f_{e q} & =-\frac{R}{2(2 \mu-1)}
\end{aligned}\)
For concave mirror, object should be at \(2 f\) for the image to be at same point
\(\text { Distance }=\frac{R}{(2 \mu-1)}\)
