The image is formed virtual , erect smaller and at the back of the mirror.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance = 40 cm

Radius of curvature = 40 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of focal length

f=\dfrac{R}{2}

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{40}{2}

f=20\ cm

We need to calculate four characteristics of the image formed by the mirror

Using formula of mirror

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{20}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{40}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{40}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{3}{40}

v=13.33\ cm

Hence, The image is formed virtual , erect smaller and at the back of the mirror.
