Answer 1

Hey mate!

so i got the answer for this

The distance of the formed image (v) = (14+14)m

                                                              = 28 m

Let, the magnificant of the image be, 'm'

The focal length be, 'f'

We know that,

Magnificant of the image = - v/u

                                          = -28/14

                                          = -2

The magnificant of the image is -2

As the magnificant of the image is negative so, its a real image.

We know that,

1/ focal length = (1/distance of the object) + (1/distance of the formed image)

⇒ 1/f = (1/u) + (1/v)

⇒ 1/f = (1/14) + (1/28)

⇒ 1/f = (1+1)/28 [∵ The L.C.M. of 14 and 28 is 28]

⇒ 1/f = 2/28

⇒ 1/f = 1/28

⇒ f = 14 m

So, the foal length of the mirror is 14 m
