Answer:
Mirror-Converging/Concave Mirror
focal length (f)= -12cm
height of object(h)= 2cm
u = -15cm
v = ?
height of image(h') =?
Mirror Formula,
1 = 1 + 1
f v u
1 = 1 + 1
-12 v -15
-1 = 1 — 1
12 v 15
1 = -1 + 1
v 12 15
1 = -5 + 4
v 60
1 = -1
v 60
1 = -1
v 60
By cross multiplication,
-1×v = 60×1
-v = 60
v = -60 cm
Magnification(m) = h' = -v
h u
m = h' = - (-60)
2 -15
m= h' = 60
2 -15
m= h' × -15 = 2×60
m= h' = 2×60
-15
m = h' = -2×4
= -8 cm
Hence,the image formed is real and inverted and is enlarged.
