an object of 5cm height is placed at a distance of 20cm in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature 30cm. find the position of image its nature and size

Expert Answer
u = - 20 cm
ho = 5 cm
R = + 30 cm ... (convex mirror) 

begin mathsize 12px style straight f equals straight R over 2 equals 30 over 2 equals plus 15 space cm space left parenthesis convex space mirror right parenthesis From space the space mirror space formula comma space we space get 1 over straight f equals 1 over straight u plus 1 over straight v rightwards arrow 1 over straight v equals 1 over straight f minus 1 over straight u rightwards double arrow 1 over straight v equals 1 over 15 minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator negative 20 end fraction rightwards double arrow straight v equals 8.57 space cm end style

The image is formed at a distance of 8.57 cm behind the convex mirror. Thus, it is virtual and erect.
 
m space equals space minus space v over u space space m space equals negative space space fraction numerator 8.75 over denominator negative space 20 end fraction space equals space 0.4 space A l s o comma m space equals space h subscript i over h subscript o space 0.4 space equals h subscript i over 5 space h subscript i space end subscript space equals space 0.4 space cross times space 5 space equals space 2 space c m
 
Thus, the height of an image is 2 cm. 
Thus, we can say that tha image is diminished.

It is desired to obtain an erect image of an object, using concave mirror of focal length of 15 cm. Where should we place the object? Where will the image of this object be, if it is placed at 30 cm in front of the mirror? Draw a ray diagram for this situation also to justify your answer.
