Q47 of 62 Page 106

An image of an object placed in front of a convex mirror formed 8 cm away. If the focal length of the mirror is 16 cm, calculate the distance of the object from the mirror.

Given


Focal length of convex mirror = +16cm (focal length of convex mirror is positive)


The distance of image = + 8cm (Since in case of a convex mirror, the image is always virtual)


The distance of Object = ?


Formula Used



Using the above formula



U = -16 cm


Hence, the object is placed at a distance of 16cm in front of the mirror.
