    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) \[\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)b2\]                 

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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