Question 1 Report

An object is placed 25cm in front of a convex mirror has its image formed 5cm behind the mirror. what is the focal length of the convex mirror
Answer Details

Object distance (u) = -25 cm (negative because the object is in front of the mirror)
Image distance (v) = +5 cm (positive because the image is behind the convex mirror)

Using  1f 1 f  = 1u 1 u  + 1v 1 v

1f 1 f  = 1−25 1 − 25  + 15 1 5

f = 254 25 4  = 6.250cm.
