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

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Using the relation for the focal length of concave mirror \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\]                                     ?(1) Differentiating equation (1), we obtain \[0=-\frac{1}{{{\upsilon }^{2}}}dv-\frac{1}{{{u}^{2}}}du\] So,          \[dv=-\frac{{{\upsilon }^{2}}}{{{u}^{2}}}\times b\]                                            ?(2)             (Here :\[du=b\]) From equation (1) \[\frac{1}{\upsilon }=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{u-f}{fu}\] or            \[\frac{u}{\upsilon }=\frac{u-f}{f}\] \[\frac{v}{u}=\frac{f}{u-f}\]                                         ?(3) Now, from equations (2) \[d\upsilon =-{{\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)}^{2}}b\] Therefore, size of image is\[={{\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)}^{2}}b\]
