height of the object h = 1 cm
object distance u=20 cm
radius of curvature R=50 cm
focal length f= R/2 =25 cm
image distance v = ?
size of the image h’=?
mirror formula
1/u+1/v=1/f
1/v=1/f-1/u
1/v= (1/25)-(1/20)
=(4–5)/100
=-1/100
v=-100cm
magnification m= h’/h=-v/u
m=100/20=5
5=h’/1
h’=5 cm
Image is formed at a distance of 100 cm from the mirror and is real, inverted,magnified.(-ve sign indicates the real image)
