Answer:
the answer mate
Explanation:
length 15cm ...
h=2cm
u=-30cm
f=-15cm
1/v+1/u=1/f
1/v+1/-30=1/-15
1/v=-2+1/30=-1/30
v=-30
the screen must be placed 30cm from the mirror to get the sharp image of it.
m=-v/u=h'/h
-(-30)/30=1
the image formed is real ,inverted and same size as the object

Answer:
1/f = 1 /v + 1 / u
1/15 = 1/v - 1 / 30
1/v = 1/15 + 1 / 30
1/v = 2 + 1 / 30
1/v = 3 / 30
1/v = 1 / 10
v = 10
30cm + 10cm = 40cm. The plane mirror needs to placed at a distance of 20cm from the object in order for the image to coincide as it will form 20 cm behind it. The total distance would thus have to be 40cm.
hope it helps
