Important Questions on Formation of Image by Spherical Mirror

The radius of curvature of a convex mirror is . When an object is placed at A, its image is formed at B. If the size of image is half that of the object, then calculate the distance between A and B.

A student determines the focal length of a device 'X' by focusing the image of a distant object on a screen placed from the device on the same side as the object. The device 'X' is

Write a short note on the image formation by convex mirror.

If the length of the object is then find the length of the image. Given that the focal length of the mirror is .

Name the mirror which can show the size of the object to be double of its original.

The distance between a real object and its image in a convex mirror of focal length is . Find the size of the image, if the object size is .

A dentist uses a spherical mirror that produces an upright image that is magnified four times. What kind of mirror is it? What is its focal length in terms of the object distance?

A concave mirror has a focal length of . A rod of length is placed along the principal axis of the mirror in such a way that the end closer to the mirror lies on its centre of curvature. The length of the image of the rod is
