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 2d = 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.
