Q25.You are asked to design a shaving mirror assuming that a person keeps it at 10 cm from his face and views the magnified image of the face at the closest comfortable distance of 25 cm. The radius of curvature of the mirror would then be: (1) 24 cm (2) 30 cm (3) 60 cm (4) โˆ’24 cm

What This Question Tests

This question requires applying the mirror formula and magnification concept with appropriate sign conventions to find the radius of curvature for a concave shaving mirror.

Concepts Tested

Mirror formulaMagnification for spherical mirrorsSign conventions for mirrors

Formulas Used

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

m = -v/u

f = R/2

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?
