Question

an object of height 5cm is placed at 30cm distance on its principal axis of a concave mirrors of focal length 20cm find the image distance and size of image​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Height of object, h

o

=5cm, object distance u=−30cm, focal length f=−20cm

Now, from mirror formula :

f
