STANDARD Physics Mirrors MCQ Question
A boy of height 1 m stands in front of a convex mirror. His distance from the mirror is equal to its focal length. The height of his image is
0.25 m
0.33 m
0.5 m
0.67 m
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Let f be the focal length of the convex mirror. Using the mirror formula, the image is formed at a distance f/2 behind the mirror and it is a virtual image. The magnification is 1/2, so the height of the image is 0.5 m.
