OpenStudy (gudden):

Hey ! Am a student of grade 10..and its my first year with optics... and am facing many problems..when it comes to " finding the position of the image and the objects when the magnification is given (or any one of these three) "... could you please suggest me.. out in resolving the problem....

OpenStudy (emmigrace222):

sure if i cant ill take some moderators

OpenStudy (emmigrace222):

@chmvijay can you help gubben out please?.

OpenStudy (gudden):

thank you

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

@gudden I think you should post an example (of your choice) and solve it with us. We can then see where are you facing trouble. :)

OpenStudy (gudden):

okay.. for example... if an object's image appears to be magnified by 2x when placed infront of a concave mirror.... find the position and nature of the image

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

@ gudden do you know the formula of magnification ??

OpenStudy (gudden):

ofcourse.....

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

So, you'll get two equations between v and u one from magnification and other from mirror formula.. You can solve for v and u

OpenStudy (gudden):

yeah... i do get,...... alright...... :D

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

So where do you face trouble ??

OpenStudy (gudden):

when v and u are also not given... n we r supposed to draw d ray diagram of the given....

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

In this example; you solved for v and u using m and f..

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

But you can draw an approximate ray diagram simply by looking at the pattern of the mirror / lens

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

There was a table in ncert ; as far as I remember..

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

Ok, found it..

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

You can use it to make the ray diagram without doing the actual calculations..

OpenStudy (gudden):

okay.. ! thnx...
