an object is placed at a distance of 25cm from a convex mirror of focal length 20cm. Find the nature and position of the image |
|
Answer» The image is located 11.11cm and its nature is virtual and erect. Explanation: Given: Object distance (u) = -25cm Focal Length (F) = 20cm By Mirror Formula, ⇒ 1/v + 1/u = 1/f ⇒ 1/v - 1/25 = 1/20 ⇒ 1/v = 1/20 + 1/25 ⇒ 1/v = 9/100 ∴v = 100/9 ≈ 11.11 cm Since the value of the image distance is POSITIVE, the image is FORMED behind the mirror, ie. it is virtual and erect. I hope that this HELPS you, mate! |
