उत्तर
Given Data:
- Focal length (f) = −12 cm (Concave mirror → Focal length is negative)
- Magnification (m) = +3 (Virtual, magnified image → Positive magnification)
- Object distance (u) = ?
Use Magnification Formula
`m = -v/u`
`3 = -v/u`
v = −3u
`1/f = 1/v + 1/u`
Substituting f = −12 and v = −3u:
`1/-12 = 1/(-3u) + 1/u`
`1/-12 = (1+3)/(3u)`
`1/-12 = 4/(3u)`
−12 × 4 = 3u
−48 = 3u
u = −8 cm
The negative sign indicates that the object is placed in front of the mirror at a distance of 8 cm from the pole.

Consider the situation shown in figure. The elevator is going up with an acceleration of 2.00 m s−2 and the focal length of the mirror is 12.0 cm. All the surfaces are smooth and the pulley is light.

An astronomical refractive telescope has an objective of focal length 20 m and an eyepiece of focal length 2 cm.
- The length of the telescope tube is 20.02 m.
- The magnification is 1000.
- The image formed is inverted.
- An objective of a larger aperture will increase the brightness and reduce chromatic aberration of the image.
