An object is placed $15 \text{ cm}$ from $(a)$ a converging mirror, and $(b)$ a diverging mirror, each having a radius of curvature of $20 \text{ cm}$. Calculate the image position and magnification in each case.

  • A
    Case $(a)$: $v = -30 \text{ cm}, m = -2$; Case $(b)$: $v = 6 \text{ cm}, m = 0.4$
  • B
    Case $(a)$: $v = -30 \text{ cm}, m = 2$; Case $(b)$: $v = -6 \text{ cm}, m = 0.4$
  • C
    Case $(a)$: $v = 30 \text{ cm}, m = -2$; Case $(b)$: $v = 6 \text{ cm}, m = -0.4$
  • D
    Case $(a)$: $v = -30 \text{ cm}, m = -2$; Case $(b)$: $v = -6 \text{ cm}, m = 0.4$

Which type of mirror can produce a virtual image?

A student wants to project the image of a candle flame on the walls of the school laboratory by using a mirror.
$(a)$ Which type of mirror should he use and why?
$(b)$ At what distance, in terms of focal length '$f$' of the mirror, should he place the candle flame to get a magnified image on the wall?
$(c)$ Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image in this case.
$(d)$ Can he use this mirror to project a diminished image of the candle flame on the same wall? State 'how' if your answer is 'yes' and 'why not' if your answer is 'no.'
