Q25.A concave mirror for face viewing has a focal length of 0.4 m. The distance at which you hold the mirror from your face in order to see your image upright with a magnification of 5 is (1) 1.60 m (2) 0.16 m (3) 0.32 m (4) 0.24 m

What This Question Tests

This question involves applying the mirror formula and magnification formula for a concave mirror to find the object distance required to form an upright, magnified image.

Concepts Tested

Mirror formulaMagnification by spherical mirrorsSign conventions for mirrors

Formulas Used

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

m = -v/u

9.1 A small candle, 2.5 cm in size is placed at 27 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 36 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed in order to obtain a sharp image? Describe the nature and size of the image. If the candle is moved closer to the mirror, how would the screen have to be moved?
