an object 24.0 cm from a concave mirror creates a virtual image at -33.5 cm. if the image is 7.25 cm tall, what is the height of the object?

Answer :

The height of the object will be -5.19 cm

A concave mirror's reflecting surface curves inward and away from the light source. Light is reflected inward to a single focus point via concave mirrors. Concave mirrors, in contrast to convex mirrors, produce a variety of images depending on the object's to the mirror.

Given an object 24.0 cm from a concave mirror creates a virtual image at -33.5 cm. if the image is 7.25 cm tall

So let,

v =  Image distance from the mirror = -33.5 cm

u = object distance from the mirror (concave) = 24 cm

hi = Image height = 7.25 cm

h = height of the object = ?

Using below formula to find height of the object

-v/u = hi/h

Putting all value in the formula we get

-(-33.5)/(-24) = 7.25/h

h = -5.19 cm

Therefore the height of the object will be -5.19 cm
