An object \(O\) is placed at \(7 \mathrm{~cm}\) to the left of a concave mirror of radius of curvature \(12 \mathrm{~cm}\) as shown in the figure. The position of the image will be at a distance of

  1. A \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\) from the mirror to the left.
  2. B \(30 \mathrm{~cm}\) from the mirror to the right.
  3. C \(42 \mathrm{~cm}\) from the mirror to the left.
  4. D \(42 \mathrm{~cm}\) from the mirror to the right.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(42 \mathrm{~cm}\) from the mirror to the left.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, distance between object and mirror, \(u=-7 \mathrm{~cm}\) Radius of curvature, \(R=-12 \mathrm{~cm}\) \(\therefore\) Focal length, \(f=-\frac{12}{2}=-6 \mathrm{~cm}\) From mirror formula, \(\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\) Putting the given values,…
