Answer» The distance of the OBJECT from the mirror, u = -30 cm The distance of the image from the mirror, v = -60 cm To find the foca LENGTH, we will USE the formula: Since, the focal length is negative, the nature of the mirror is convex i.e. it is a diverging mirror. The focal length of the mirror is = -20 cm The height of the flame = 2.4 cm The height of its image would be: Thus, the height of the image would be 4.8 cm. The image would be real and INVERTED. |
