Question

An object is placed at a distance of 10cm infront of a convex mirror, the focal length is 5cm, where the image formed? And charecteristics of image.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Also, Object distance in the convex mirror is always negative where as Image distance and focal length are positive. ∴ Image Distance(v) = 3.33 cm. Hence, the Image is formed on the other side of the Mirror at the distance of 3.33 cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

3.33cm

Explanation:

ANSWER

Object Distance(u) = 10 cm. (negative)

Focal length of the lens (f) = 5 cm.

We know, convex mirror always forms the virtual, upright and diminished.Also, Object distance in the convex mirror is always negative where as Image distance and focal length are positive.

Now, Applying the Mirror's Formula,

(10−v)

10v=50−5v

15v=50

v=

10

so the image distance (v) =3.33cm.
