An object is placed at a distance of `16 cm` from a convex mirror of focal length `20 cm`. Locate the position and nature of the image. |
Answer» Here, `u = -16 cm, f = +20 cm, v = ?` `(1)/(v) = (1)/(f) - (1)/(u) = (1)/(20) - (1)/(-16) = (16 + 20)/(320) = (36)/(320)` `v = (320)/(36) = (80)/(9) = 8.9 cm` As `v` is positive, therefore, image is virtual, erect and is formed behind the mirror. |
