A) 30 cm towards the mirror
B) 36 cm away from the mirror
C) 30 cm away from the mirror
D) 36 cm towards the mirror
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
\[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{u}\] \[-\frac{1}{15}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{40}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{{{v}_{1}}}=\frac{1}{-15}+\frac{1}{40}\] \[{{v}_{1}}=-24cm\] When object is displaced by 20 cm towards mirror. Now, \[{{u}_{2}}=-20\] \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{u}_{2}}}\] \[\frac{1}{-15}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{2}}}-\frac{1}{20}\] \[\frac{1}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{15}\] \[{{v}_{2}}=-60cm\] So, image shifts away from mirror by\[=60-24=36cm\].You need to login to perform this action.
