Answer 1

Hello friend

___________________________________

Focal length of the mirror is 10cm

Distance from the wall is 35cm

It needs to form an image on the wall

That is the image distance will be 35cm

We need to find the object distance

By using mirror formulae

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

Using sign convention

1/-10 = 1/-35 + 1/u

-1/10 + 1/35 = 1/u

(-7+2)/70 = 1/u

-5/70 = 1/u

-1/14 = 1/u

u=-14

The object should be placed at a distance of 14cm infront of the mirror.

It means it should be placed at a distance of 35-14=21cm from the wall
