उत्तर
If an object is placed at the centre of curvature of a concave mirror, the size of the image is equal to the size of the object.
Given,
focal length = 25 cm
As, center of curvature = 2 × focal length
Therefore,
center of curvature
= 2 × 25
= 50 cm
Hence, the object should be placed at 50 cm.

Name the kind of mirror used to obtain:
A virtual and diminished image
The focal length of a concave mirror is 10 cm. Find its radius of curvature.
An object forms a virtual image which is 1/8th of the size of the object. If the object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from the convex mirror, calculate:
- the position of the image
- the focal length of the convex mirror.
In the figure shown, the image of a real object is formed at the point I. AB is the principal axis of the mirror. The mirror must be:
