Q6 of 223 Page 209

A convex mirror used as a rear-view mirror in a car has a radius of curvature of 3 m. If a bus is located at a distance of 5 m from this mirror, find the position of image. What is the nature of the image ?

Radius of curvature , R = 3m

F = R/2 = 3/2 = 1.5 m


Object distance from mirror = 5m


Using the mirror formula,


Image distance = 1.15 m behind the mirror;


The nature of the image formed is Virtual and erect
