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

    A)  10 cm in front of the mirror

    B)  7.5 cm behind the mirror

    C)  2.5 cm in front of the mirror

    D)  7.5 cm in front of the mirror

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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