A 12.0 cm object is 9.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -4.5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the mirror?

Answer: -3 cm on EDGE

Respuesta :

Answer:

The distance of the image from the mirror, v = -3 cm

Explanation:

Given data,

The object distance, u = 9 cm

The focal length of the convex mirror, f = - 4.5 cm

According to the mirror formula,

                           [tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}[/tex]

∴                          [tex]\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}[/tex]

                           [tex]v=\frac{uf}{u-f}[/tex]

Substituting the values,

                           [tex]v=\frac{(-4.5)\times9}{9+4.5}[/tex]

                           v = - 3 cm

Hence, the distance of the image from the mirror, v = -3 cm
