Correct answer: 400
- Given data
- Radius of curvature of concave mirror:
- Hence focal length:
For a concave mirror, using Cartesian sign convention:
-
Initial object distance: in front of mirror
-
Object moves towards the mirror with speed for
So in , object moves:
Thus new object distance is:
- Use mirror formula
Mirror formula:
Substitute and :
So,
Take LCM :
Therefore,
- Interpretation
The positive sign of means the image is formed behind the mirror (virtual image), at a distance of from the mirror.
- Final answer
The position of the image after is:
