Given:

object distance (do) = 30 cm

object size (so) = 10 cm

focal length (f) = - 20 cm

Required:

image distance (di),

magnification (m)

image characteristics.

Equations:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(d_i)+(1)/(d_o)=(1)/(f) \\ m=-(d_i)/(d_o)=(s_i)/(s_o) \end{gathered}

Solution:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(d_i)+(1)/(30)=(1)/(-20) \\ (1)/(d_i)=-(1)/(20)-(1)/(30) \\ (1)/(d_i)=-(3)/(60)-(2)/(60)_{} \\ (1)/(d_i)=(-5)/(60) \\ (1)/(d_i)=(1)/(-12) \\ d_i=-12\text{ cm} \\ \\ m=-(d_i)/(d_o)=-(-12)/(30)=(2)/(5) \end{gathered}

Location: 12 cm "inside" the mirror (di = -12 cm)

Orientation: Upright (m > 0)

Size: si = 4 cm (object size multiplied by m)

Type: Virtual image (di < 0)
