An object which is 3cm high is placed vertically 10cm in front of a concave mirror. If this object produces an image 40cm from the mirror, the height of the image is

  • A. 0.75cm
  • B. 4.00cm
  • C. 8.00cm
  • D. 12.00cm

Correct Answer: D. 12.00cm

Explanation

\(\frac{\text {object height}}{\text{image height}}\) = \(\frac{\text {object distance}}{\text{image distance}}\)

\(\frac{3}{\text{image height}}\) = \(\frac{10}{40}\)

Image height = 12cm
