Question

An object as placed in 48 cm in front of concave mirror if the. focal length of mirror is 24 cm then find out the position in nature of image

Answer 1

1. the position of image will be at the center of carvature.
2. the image will be real and inverted.

Answer 2

Hi !

Object distance = u = -48 cm
Focal length = f = -24 cm
Image distance = v = ?

1/v = 1/f - 1/u
      = -1/24 + 1/48
      = -2+1/48
      = -1/48

v = -48 cm

The image is at a distance of 48 cm from the mirror.

m = -v/u
    = -(-48)/-24
     = -2

As the magnification is negative , the image formed is real , inverted.
