Q17.A spherical mirror is obtained as shown in the figure from a hollow glass sphere, if an object is positioned in front of the mirror, what will be the nature and magnification of the image of the object? (Figure down as schematic and not to scale) JEE Main 2020 (02 Sep Shift 1) JEE Main Previous Year Paper (1) Inverted, real and magnified (2) Erect, virtual and magnified (3) Erect, virutual and unmagnified (4) Inverted, real and unmagnified

What This Question Tests

The question assesses the ability to determine the nature and magnification of an image formed by a concave mirror, based on the object's general position relative to the mirror's focal point.

Concepts Tested

Concave mirror propertiesImage nature (real/virtual, erect/inverted)Magnification by spherical 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?
