What is the focal length of a concave mirror if the object distance is 30 cm and the image distance is -15 cm?

1

-10 cm

2

-20 cm

3

-15 cm

4

-5 cm

Answer and Solution

Answer

A. -10 cm

Solution:

Using the mirror formula: 1/f = 1/v + 1/u. Here, u = -30 cm and v = -15 cm. Thus, 1/f = (1/-15) + (1/-30) = -1/10. Therefore, f = -10 cm.
