Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

A 2.5 cm tall object is placed 27 cm in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 36 cm. At what distance from the mirror will the screen show a sharp image of the object?

A

18 cm

B

36 cm

C

24 cm

D

54 cm

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the mirror formula 1/f = 1/v + 1/u and f = R/2, we find f = 18 cm. Substituting u = -27 cm, we calculate v = 18 cm. Thus, the screen should be placed at 18 cm from the mirror.
