h=5cm,
u=-10cm
f=15cm
1/f=1/v+1/u
1/15=1/v+1/-10
1/v=1/15+1/10=1/6
v=6cm
height of image =-6/-10*5=3cm
nature of image =virtual erect and enlarged
u=-10cm
f=15cm
1/f=1/v+1/u
1/15=1/v+1/-10
1/v=1/15+1/10=1/6
v=6cm
height of image =-6/-10*5=3cm
nature of image =virtual erect and enlarged

The focal length (f) of a convex mirror is positive and
Image distance (u)= -10 cm
Radius of curvature (R)=30 cm
so, f = 30/2=15 cm
Substituting the value of u and f in MIRROR FORMULA,
i.e 1/v + 1/u = 1/f
you will get v=308/5=6 cm
Now, by using magnification fromula,
i.e m = -v/u
you will get m= -6/-10
so m=0.6
and also m=h'/h
so now by substituting the values of m(0.6) and h(5cm) in the formula
you will get h'=6*5\10 = 3 cm
so NATURE : VIRTUAL, ERECT
POSITION : BEHINd THE MIRROR
SIZE: DIMINISHED
