Formula related to focal length f, object-to-mirror distance u and image-to-mirror distance v is given by$\frac{1}{\text{v}}+\frac{1}{\text{u}}=\frac{1}{\text{f}}$
$\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{\text{v}}=\frac{1}{15}$
Solving the above e.q. for v, we get v = 30cm
$\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{\text{v}}=\frac{1}{15}$
Solving the above e.q. for v, we get v = 30cm
- Image is formed at a distance 30 cm from concave mirror.
- Since image distance and object distance are same (both are at 2F),
- Magnification = 1
- Image and object are same size.
- Image is real.
- Image is inverted.
