A 2cm high object is placed on the principle axis of concave mirror at a distance of 12cm from the pole. If the image is inverted, real and 5cm high, then the focal length of the mirror is.

Hey mate here is ur ans
we know that
image height /object height=image distance /object distance
=>5/2=x/12
=>2x=60
=>x=30cm
we know that in case of a concave mirror where a real image is formed
1/f=1/u+1/v
1/f=1/12+1/30=5+2/60=7/60
so f=60/7=8.57cm
the focal length of it is 8.57cm

Height of object = +2cm
Height of image = -5cm
Distance of object (u) = -12cm
Magnifaction =Height of image /Height of object
M= (-5)/2= -2.5
And again
Magnifaction = -Image distance/object distance
-2.5= -v/-12
30= -v
v= -30cm
Using the mirror formula to find focal length
1/f=1/v+1/u
1/f=1/-30+1/-12
By lcm method
1/f= -2+-5/60
1/f= -7/60
cross multiple
-7f=60
f= -60/7 or -8.5 approx
