An object is placed 30cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. the linear magnification of the image produced is

A.

0

B.

\(\frac{2}{3}\)

C.

1

D.

2

E.

3

Correct answer is C

U = 30cm = 2f = r

V = 30cm

hence, m = \(\frac{v}{u}\) = \(\frac{30}{30}\)

= 1

The heights of the mercury thread in a mercury-in-glass thermometer when in melting ice and then in steam are 3cm and 18cm respectively. At a temperature of 60oC the height would be

A.

7.5cm

B.

9cm

C.

10.8cm

D.

12cm

E.

12.6cm

Correct answer is D

18cm .... 100oC

x .... 60oC

3cm .... 0oC

\(\frac{x - 3}{18 - 3}\) = \(\frac{60 - 0}{100 - 0}\)

= 12cm
