The separation between the images is 6 mm
Explanation:
The magnification is given by the formula:
m = hi/ho
hi = Height of image
ho = Height of object
Now,
hi/ho = -v/u
Where,
v = Image distance
u = Object distance
Now, on using mirror formula, we get,
-v/u = f/(f - u)
Where,
f = Focal length = - 20 cm
u = Object distance = - 30 cm
⇒ hi/ho = f/(f - u)
On substituting the values, we get,
hi/ho = -20/(-20 - (-30))
hi/ho = -20/(-20 + 30) = -20/10 = - 2 cm
hi/-5 mm = -2 cm
∴ hi = -2 × 10⁻² × -5 × 10⁻³ = 10⁻⁴ m
Now,
v = -(hi/ho) × u
On substituting the values, we get,
v = -(10⁻⁴/(5 × 10⁻³)) × - 30 × 10⁻²
∴ v = 0.006 m = 6 mm
