        A short linear object of length b lies along the axis of a concave mirror of focal length\[f\]at a distance u from the pole of the mirror, what is the size of image?

    A)  \[\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)b\]                  

    B)  \[{{\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)}^{2}}b\]

    C)  \[\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right){{b}^{2}}\]                   

    D)  \[\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Using the relation for the focal length of concave mirror \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\]                   ?(i) Differentiating Eq. (i), we obtain                            \[0=-\frac{1}{{{v}^{2}}}dv-\frac{1}{{{u}^{2}}}du\] So,          \[dv=-\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{{{u}^{2}}}\times b\]                           ?(ii) (Here, \[du=b\]) From Eq. (i)                 \[\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{u-f}{fu}\] Or           \[\frac{u}{v}=\frac{u-f}{f}\]                 \[\frac{v}{u}=\frac{f}{u-f}\]                         ?.(iii) Now, from Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get                 \[dv=-{{\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)}^{2}}b\] Therefore, size of image is\[={{\left( \frac{f}{u-f} \right)}^{2}}b\]
