Expert Answer
We have mirror equation as :- (1/v ) + (1/u ) = (1/f ) .................(1)
where v is mirror-to-image distance , u is mirror-to-object distance and f is focal length of mirror
magnification is given as, m = -v/u ................ (2)
if required magnification is -3 , then -v/u = - 3 or v = 3u
If we substitute v = 3u , in mirror equation (1) , we get , (1/3u) + (1/u) = (1/f) or u = (4/3) f
Hence if mirror-to-object distance is (4/3)f , we get magnification -3
v = (4/3)f = 1.33 f
hence object should be placed between F and 2F , where F is focal point of mirror and 2F is centre of curvature.
Exact distance is (4/3)f
