To find the focal length of a convex mirror, a student records the following data
Object Pin Convex Lens Convex Mirror Image Pin
  \(22.2\,cm\)   \(32.2\,cm\)   \(45.8\,cm\)   \(71.2\,cm\)
The focal length of the convex lens is \(f_1\)  and that of mirror is \(f_2\). Then taking index correction to be negligibly small, \(f_1\)  and  \(f_2\) are close to

  1. A \(f_1 = 7.8\,cm\,\,\,\,\, f_2 = 12.7\,\,cm\)
  2. B \(f_1 = 12.7\,cm\,\,\,\,\, f_2 = 7.8\,\,cm\)
  3. C \(f_1 = 15.6\,cm\,\,\,\,\, f_2 = 25.4\,\,cm\)
  4. D \(f_1 = 7.8\,cm\,\,\,\,\, f_2 = 25.4\,\,cm\)
Verified Solution

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…
