Q25.When an object is kept at a distance of 30 cm from a concave mirror, the image is formed at a distance of 10 cm from the mirror. If the object is moved with a speed of 9 cm s−1 , the speed (in cm s−1 ) with which image moves at that instant is

What This Question Tests

This question tests the ability to use the mirror formula to find the focal length and then apply its differentiated form to calculate the velocity of the image for a moving object.

Concepts Tested

Formulas Used

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

v_image = -(v/u)² v_object

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?
