To find the focal length of a convex mirror, a student records the following data
| Object Pin | Convex Lens | Convex Mirror | Image Pin |
| \(22.2\,cm\) | \(32.2\,cm\) | \(45.8\,cm\) | \(71.2\,cm\) |
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(f_1 = 7.8\,cm\,\,\,\,\, f_2 = 12.7\,\,cm\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
From lens
\(u_{1}=-(32.2-22.2) c m=-10 c m\)
\(v_{1}=(71.2-32.2) \mathrm{cm}=39 \mathrm{cm}\)
\(\frac{1}{f_{1}}=\frac{1}{v_{1}}-\frac{1}{u_{1}}=\frac{1}{36}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{49}{390}\)
or \(f_{1}=\frac{390}{49} \mathrm{cm}=7.8 \mathrm{cm}\)
For mirror \(R=(71.2-45.8) \mathrm{cm}=25.4 \mathrm{cm}\)
or \(f_{2}=\frac{25.4}{2} \mathrm{cm}=12.7 \mathrm{cm}\)
