1.

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»

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!
