Question


The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is 10 cm. If I want to capture the image of the sun, at what distance from the pole of the mirror would an image be formed?


Options:
A .   10 cm 
B .   5 cm  
C .   20 cm 
D .   At infinity
Answer: Option B
:
B

Given, Radius of curvature =10 cm
If the object is placed at infinity the image is formed at the focus.


We know the focal length(F) is half the radius of curvature(R).  
 F=R2
 F=102
F= 5 cm


So the image of the sun is at 5 cm from the pole.
