A convex mirror used as a rear-view mirror in a car has a radius of curvature of 3 m. If a bus is located at a distance of 5 m from this mirror, find the position of image. What is the nature of the image ?
Radius of curvature , R = 3m
F = R/2 = 3/2 = 1.5 m
Object distance from mirror = 5m
Using the mirror formula,
Image distance = 1.15 m behind the mirror;
The nature of the image formed is Virtual and erect
