STANDARD Physics Spherical Mirrors MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
A concave shaving mirror has a radius of curvature of 35.0 cm. It is positioned so that the (upright) image of a man's face is 2.50 times the size of the face. How far is the mirror from the face?
A
5.25 cm
B
21.0 cm
C
10.5 cm
D
42 cm
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
For a spherical mirror, the focal length f = R/2 = 17.5 cm. Using the magnification formula m = -v/u = 2.5, we find u = f(1 - 1/m) = 10.5 cm.
