A point object O is placed midway between the concave mirrors, distance d apart. What is the value of d for which object and images coincide? Each mirror has focal length F –

A

F, 2F

B

2F, 3F

C

F, 4F

D

2F, 4F

Answer

2F, 4F

Explanation

Solution

When d2\frac { \mathrm { d } } { 2 } = F the rays from one mirror after reflection will reach parallel to the other mirror. Second mirror will refocus them at O when object is at 2F. Image is formed at 2F.
