Expert Answer
(a) u = -15 cm, v =?, f = -10 cm
Now putting these values in the mirror formula:
1/v + 1/u = 1/f
We get: 1/v + 1/-15 = 1/-10
1/v = 1/15 - 1/10
1/v = -1/30
v = -30 cm
So, image distance = -30 cm
Thus, the position of image is 30 cm to the left side of mirror or 30 cm in front of mirror.
(b) The focal length of the plane mirror is infinity.
