A match 5 cm long is placed 20 cm in front of a concave mirror whose focal length is 50 cm. Find the location, size, and nature of the image.
)
Here a spherical concave mirror is mentioned. For a concave mirror the focus and center of curvature are taken as negative. And those for convex mirror they are taken as positive. Then the detailed explanation and solutions are shown below as an image.
So the position of image is (100/3, 25/3) ie the x coordinate is 100/3 cm and y coordinate is 25/3 cm. Ie the size of the image is 25/3 cm. And the nature of the image is virtual.
