NEET Physics Reflection MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A concave mirror has a radius of curvature R. If an object is placed at a distance u from the mirror, what is the expression for the image distance v using the mirror equation?

A

v = uR / (2u - R)

B

v = 2uR / (R - 2u)

C

v = uR / (R + 2u)

D

v = 2uR / (R + u)

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the mirror equation 1/f = 1/v + 1/u and f = R/2, we get 1/v = 2/R - 1/u. Solving for v gives v = uR / (2u - R).
