    A short linear object of length b lies along the axis of a concave mirror of focal length f at a distance u from the pole of the mirror, what is the size of image?

    A)  \[\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)b\]             

    B)  \[{{\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)}^{2}}b\]

    C)              \[{{\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}\]              

    D)  \[\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right){{b}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    From relation the focal length of concave mirror is given by: \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{\upsilon }+\frac{1}{u}\]                  ?..(i) Differentiating equation (i), we obtain,             \[0=-\frac{1}{\upsilon }d\upsilon -\frac{1}{{{u}^{2}}du.}\] or         \[d\upsilon =-\frac{{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{{{u}^{2}}}du\] Here          \[du=b\]             \[d\upsilon =-\frac{{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{{{u}^{2}}}\times b\]                  ?..(ii) From equation (i) we have,             \[\frac{1}{\upsilon }=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{u-f}{fu}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\frac{u}{\upsilon }=\frac{u-f}{f}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\frac{u}{\upsilon }=\frac{f}{u-f}\]              ??(iii) Finally from equation (ii) and (iii) we get             \[d\upsilon =-{{\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)}^{2}}b\] Therefore size of image \[={{\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)}^{2}}b.\]
