Question:

A concave mirror has radius of curvature 2 m. Light from a distance star is incident on the mirror. The distance of the image of the star from the mirror is:

Options:

Infinite

1 m

2 m

0.5 m

Correct Answer:

1 m

Explanation:

Distance of the object (star) is infinitely large. Hence the light coming from star will converge at its focal point.

Hence distance of image is $ v = f = \frac{R}{2} = 1m$
