An object is placed at a distance of 6 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 12 cm. Find the position and nature of the image.

Object distance = 6 cm

Focal length = 12 cm


Uisng mirror formula,


Image distance = 4 cm behind the mirror


The natue of the image is Virtual and erect


Magnification , m = v/u = 4/6 = 0.66 ,


Hence the image formed is diminished.
