02. A square wire of side 3.0 cm is placed 25 cm away from a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm. What is the area enclosed by the image of the wire? Given: The centre of the wire is on the axis of the mirror, with its two sides normal to the axis.
 
Suggested solution:
 
u = -25 cm, f = -10 cm v = ?
 
 
On simplification, v = -16.67 cm
 
 
 
 
Area enclosed by the image = (-2 cm)2 = 4cm2.
