An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 8 cm. Find the position and nature of the image.
Given: An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 8 cm. So $u = -10 cm$ and $f = 8 cm$.
To find: The position and nature of the image
Solution:
We know, mirror formula is:
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}}$
We have $u = -10 cm$ and $f = 8 cm$
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{8}$
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{18}{80}$
$\mathrm{v}= \frac{40}{9} \mathrm{cm}$
Hence image will be formed $\frac{40}{9} \mathrm{cm}$ beyond the mirror. So it is a virtual image.
magnification $\mathrm{m}=\frac{-\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{- \frac{40}{9}}{-10}= \frac{4}{9}$
Hence the image will be erect and diminished.
