The speed at which the image of a luminous point object is moving,if the luminous point object is moving at speed $v_0$ towards a spherical mirror along its axis,is (Given: $r =$ radius of curvature,$u =$ object distance):

  • A
    $v_1 = -v_0$
  • B
    $v_1 = -v_0 \left( \frac{r}{2u - r} \right)$
  • C
    $v_1 = -v_0 \left( \frac{2u - r}{r} \right)$
  • D
    $v_1 = -v_0 \left( \frac{r}{2u - r} \right)^2$
