Q16.An object is placed beyond the centre of curvature C of the given concave mirror. If the distance of the object is d1 from C and the distance of the image formed is d2 from C, the radius of curvature of this mirror is: (1) 2 d1 d2 (2) 2 d1 d2 d1+d2 d1โd2 (3) d1 d2 (4) d1 d2 d1+d2 d1โd2
What This Question Tests
This problem requires careful application of the mirror formula and sign conventions, relating object and image distances from the center of curvature to the radius of curvature of a concave mirror.
Concepts Tested
Formulas Used
