    A concave mirror has a focal length of\[5\text{ }cm\]. When an object is placed at a distance of \[15\text{ }cm\]from the mirror, where is the image formed?

    A)  \[10\text{ }cm\]in front of the mirror

    B)  \[7.5\text{ }cm\]behind the mirror

    C)  \[2.5\text{ }cm\]in front of the mirror

    D)  \[7.5\text{ }cm\]in front of the mirror

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Here, \[f=-5\,cm\] \[u=-15\,\,cm\] \[v=?\] From the mirror formula \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{v}\] \[\frac{1}{-15}+\frac{1}{v}=-\frac{1}{5}\] \[\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{-5}+\frac{1}{15}\] \[v=-7.5m\] The image is formed at \[7.5\text{ }cm\]in front of the mirror.
