Q.459. Concave Mirror Problem.

Question 459.
Suppose your height is h, and you are standing in front of a concave mirror of focal length f where your real image is height h/8.73. What is your distance from the mirror in terms of f.

Answer 459.
(h/8.73)/h = v/u
=> v/u = 1/(8.73) ... ( 1 )

1/v + 1/u = 1/f
=> v = fu/(u - f)
=> v/u = f/(u - f) ... ( 2 )

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ),
f/(u - f) = 1/(8.73)
=> u - f = 8.73f
=> u = 9.73f.
