When an object is placed 10 cm in front of a mirror, an image is formed 45 cm behind the mirror. What is the mirror’s focal length?
Solution:-
Given:-
do- 10 cm
di- 45cm
Formula for focal length:-
1/f = 1/d0 + 1/di
1/f = 1/10 + 1/45
1/f = 0.1 + 0.022
1/f = 0.1222 cm
The focal length of the mirror is = 0.1222 cm
