Q5 of 84 Page 295

An object is placed at a distance of 8 cm form a convex mirror of focal length 12 cm. Find the position of the image formed?

According to the question;

Focal length (f) = 12cm;


Object distance (u) = -8cm;


By mirror formula;





⇒



⇒ v = .


Since v = 4.8cm which is positive hence image is behind the mirror.


The image is formed at the distance of 4.8 cm behind the mirror and is virtual and erect.
