The image formed by a spherical mirror is real, inverted and is magnification -2. If the image is at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror, where is the object placed? Find the focal length of the mirror. List two characteristics of the image formed if the object is moved 10 cm towards the mirror.
Given: Magnification, m = -2.
Image distance, v = -30 cm


therefore u= -15 cm
Applying the mirror formula


![]()
When the object is shifted to 10 cm towards the mirror then, image distance becomes, u=15 - 10 = 5 cm. the object is placed between pole of the mirror and focus. The image will be virtual, erect, magnified.
