An object is placed at a distance of \(40\,\, cm\) from a concave mirror of focal length \(15\,\, cm.\) If the object is displaced through a distance of \(20\,\, cm\) towards the mirror, the displacement of the image will be
- A \(30 cm\) away from the mirror
- B \(36 cm\) away from the mirror
- C \(36{\rm{\;cm\;}}\;\) towards the mirror
- D \(30{\rm{\;cm\;}}\;\) towards the mirror
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(36 cm\) away from the mirror
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Using mirror formula, \(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v_{1}}+\frac{1}{u_{1}} ;-\frac{1}{15}=\frac{1}{v_{1}}-\frac{1}{40} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v_{1}}=\frac{1}{-15}+\frac{1}{40}\)
