Question

A linear object is placed along the axis of a mirror as shown in the figure. If f is the focal length of the mirror, then the length of the image is, 2 f 3, f, f 3, none

The image of object at 2 f will be formed at 2 f . So the object and image will coincide at 2 f . 1 v - 1 u = 1 f 1 v - 1 - 3 f 2 = 1 f 1 v = 1 f - 2 3 f = 1 3 f ∴ Length of image = 3 f - 2 f = f
