उत्तर
Given:
Focal length (f) = 18 cm
Magnifiction (M) = `("Height of the image" ("h"_2))/("Height of the object" ("h"_1))`
= `1/2`
Find: Object distance (u)
Formula:
- M = `("h"_2)/("h"_1) = -"v"/"u"`
- `1/"f" = 1/"v" + 1/"u"`
Calculations:
According to formula (i),
`1/2 = -"v"/"u"`
∴ v = `-"u"/2`
According to formula (ii),
`1/"f" = 1/"v" + 1/"u" = ("u" + "v")/("uv")`
∴ f = `("uv")/ ("u" + "v")`
Now, v = `-"u"/2`
∴ f = `("u"((-"u")/2))/("u" + ((-"u")/2))`
∴ `18 = ((-"u"^2)/2)/((2"u" - "u")/2) = (-"u"^2)/"u"`
∴ u = −18 cm
A negative sign indicates that the object is placed to the left of the mirror.
Hence, the distance of the object from the mirror is 18 cm.
