    A cube of side 2 m is placed in front of a concave mirror focal length 1m with its face P at a distance of 3 m and face Q at a distance of 5 m from the mirror. The distance between the images of face P and Q and height of images of P and Q are 

    A)            1 m, 0.5 m, 0.25 m

    B)            0.5 m, 1 m, 0.25 m

    C)            0.5 m, 0.25 m, 1m

    D)            0.25 m, 1m, 0.5 m

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       For surface P, \[\frac{1}{{{v}_{1}}}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\]Þ \[{{v}_{1}}=\frac{3}{2}m\]                    For surface Q, \[\frac{1}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\]Þ \[{{v}_{2}}=\frac{5}{4}m\]                    \ \[{{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}}=0.25m\]                    Magnification of \[P=\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{u}=\frac{3/2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}\]                    \ Height of \[P=\frac{1}{2}\times 2=1m\]                    Magnification of \[Q=\frac{{{v}_{2}}}{u}=\frac{5/4}{5}=\frac{1}{4}\]            \ Height of \[Q=\frac{1}{4}\times 2=0.5m\]
