Answer:

The focal length of mirror is 10cm.

Explanation:

Given that image formed by a convex mirror is one third of the object length.

If L is the length of object then image length is \frac{L}{3}.

Object distance, u=40cm

We need to find the focal length of the mirror.

The distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus is called focal length.

From mirror formula we know that \frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}

Magnification, m=-\frac{v}{u}

Here magnification is -\frac{1}{3} as the image length is one third of the object length.

Substituting in m gives: -\frac{1}{3} =-\frac{v}{u}

\frac{1}{3} =\frac{v}{40}

v=\frac{40}{3}

Substituting in mirror formula

\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}

\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{\frac{40}{3} }+\frac{1}{-40}

\frac{1}{f} =\frac{3}{40}+\frac{1}{40}

\frac{1}{f} =\frac{4}{40}

\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{10}

f=10cm

The focal length of the mirror is 10cm.
