An object is placed 10.0 cm in front of a concave mirror whose focal length is 23.0 cm. The object is 3.20 cm tall. What is the height of the image?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The height of the image is 2.23 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance = 10.0 cm

Focal length = -23.0 cm

Height of the object = 3.20 cm

We need to calculate the distance of image

Using image formula

[tex]\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-23.0}+\dfrac{1}{-10}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{v}=-\dfrac{33}{230}[/tex]

[tex]v=-6.96\ cm[/tex]

We need to calculate the height of image

Using formula of magnification

[tex]m = \dfrac{-v}{u}=-\dfrac{h'}{h}[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{v}{u}=-\dfrac{h'}{h}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\dfrac{-6.96}{-10}=\dfrac{h'}{3.20}[/tex]

[tex]h'=\dfrac{-6.96\times3.20}{-10}[/tex]

[tex]h'=2.23\ cm[/tex]

Hence, The height of the image is 2.23 cm.
