Question
A candle flame 1.6 cm high is imaged in a ball bearing of diameter 0.4 cm. If the ball bearing is 20 cm away from the flame, find the location and the height of the image.

Solution
Given,
Height (h1) of the candle flame taken as object AB = 1.6 cm
Diameter of the ball bearing (d) = 0.4 cm
So, radius = 0.2 cm
Distance of object, u = 20 cm
Using mirror formula,
\[\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{2}{R}\]
Putting the values according to sign conventions, we get,
\[\frac{1}{( - 20)} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{2}{0 . 2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{20} + 10\]
\[ \Rightarrow v = 0 . 1 cm or 1 . 0 \text{ mm inside the ball bearing . }\]
\[Magnification = m\]
\[ = \frac{A'B'}{AB} = - \frac{v}{u} = m\]
\[ = \frac{A'B'}{200} = \frac{1}{200}\]
\[\Rightarrow A'B'=\frac{AB}{200}=+\frac{1 . 6}{200} = + 0 . 08 \text{ cm } (+0008\text{ cm })\]
Hence, the distance of the image is 1 cm.
Height of the image is 0.008 cm.
