Question

An object is placed 50.0 cm in front of a convex mirror. where can be the image located if the focal length is 40 cm from the mirror

Need now plz and thank you! ​

Answer 1

Image will form at distance 22.22 cm behind the mirror

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the mirror formula is given as

`(1)/(d_i) + (1)/(d_o) = (1)/(f)`

now we know that

object distance from mirror is

`d_o = -50 cm`

Focal length of the mirror is given as

`f = 40 cm`

now we have

`(1)/(-50) + (1)/(d_i) = (1)/(40)`

`(1)/(d_i) = (1)/(50) + (1)/(40)`

`d_i = 22.22 cm`
