We have mirror equation that is given by 
 
begin mathsize 14px style 1 over v space plus space 1 over u space equals space 1 over f end style
 
where v is mirror-to-image distance , u is mirror-to-object distance and f is focal length of mirror.
 
Object is placed at 20 cm in front of mirror , hence u = 20 cm
 
Radius of curvature of mirror R = 30 cm , hence focal length f = R/2 = 15 cm
 
Hence , we get ,  ( 1/ v ) = ( 1/15 ) - (1/20) =  ( 1 / 60 ) 
 
Hence we get , v = 60 cm
 
Image is formed at 60 cm in front of mirror.
 
Magnification m = - v/u = - 60/20 = - 3
 
Since size of object is 5 cm , size of image = -3 begin mathsize 14px style cross times end style 5 = -15 cm
 
Image is real, inverted and magnified.

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.
