The focal length of a concave mirror is 2.0cm. If an object is placed 8.0cm from it, the image is at

A.

2.7m

B.

2.0m

C.

2.3m

D.

2.5m

Correct answer is A

\(\frac{1}{U} + \frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{f}\)

\(\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{2}\)

\(V = \frac{8}{3}\)

\(V = 2.7cm\)

An object is placed 10m from a pinhole camera of length 25cm. Calculate the linear magnification.

A.

2.5x102

B.

2.5x10-2

C.

2.5x10-1

D.

2.5x101

Correct answer is B

\(\text{Linear Magnification} = \frac{\text{Length of Camera}}{\text{Distance of the Object}}\)

\(\text{Linear Magnification} = \frac{25}{1000}\)

\(\text{Linear Magnification} = 2.5 \times 10^{-2}\)
