Question

A 10 cm long object is placed at 15 cm away from a convex mirror of focal length 10 cm.find the height ,magnification and position of the image. (

Answer 1

Answer:

It is to be remembered that a convex mirror always forms the virtual, erect and diminished image.

Given: Object distance, u=−10cm Focal length, f=15cm

To find: Image distance, v

From mirror formula :

v

+

u

1

=

f

1

v

v

v=6cm

Hence image will be formed 6 cm beyond the mirror, i.e virtual magnification

m=

u

−v

=

−10

−6

=0.6

Hence it will be erect and diminished.
