Question

An object is placed 6cm from a concave mirror of radius 24cm. What is the location of the image

Answer 1

Answer:

The image will be formed 12 cm in front of the mirror.

Explanation:

Location of image (v) = ?

Location of object (u) = -6cm

Focal Length (f) = -12 cm

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

    = -1/12 + 1/6

    = -1 + 2/ 12

    = 1/12

v = 12 cm
