Problem

A concave mirror forms the real image of a point source lying on the optical axis at a distance of 50 cm50\text{ cm} from the mirror. The focal length of the mirror is 25 cm25\text{ cm}. The mirror is cut into two halves, and its halves are drawn a distance of 1 cm1\text{ cm} apart in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. How will the images formed by the halves of the mirror be arranged?
