उत्तर
O = 4 cm
u = -30 cm
f = -15 cm
From mirror formula ,
`1/"f" = 1/"v" + 1/"u"`
∴ `1/"v" = 1/"f" - 1/"u"`
∴ `1/"v" = 1/(-15) - 1/(-30) = 1/30 - 1/15`
∴ `1/"v" = (-1)/30`
∴ v = -30 cm
Hence , the image is formed at a distance of 30 cm in front of the mirror .
m = `-"v"/"u" = "I"/"O"`
∴ I = `"-OV"/"u" = (-4 xx -30)/(-30) = -4`cm
Negative sign indicates inverted image.
So, I = 4 cm
Hence , the length of the image is 4 cm.
