Question

In an experiment a convex lens of focal length 15 cm is placed coaxially on an optical bench in front of a convex mirror at a distance of 5 cm from it. It is found that an object and its image coincide, if the object is placed at a distance of 20 cm from the lens. The focal length of the convex mirror is-, 20 . 0 cm, 30 . 5 cm, 25 . 0 cm, 27 . 5 cm

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Image by Lens - - 1 - 20 + 1 v = 1 + 15 V = + 60 Distance of Image from mirror = 60 - 5 = 55 cm Path retraces when that image in at center of curvature of the mirror. Hence R = 55 cm f m i r r o r = R 2 = 27.5 cm
