An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. Find the position and nature of the image.

Focal length of convex mirror (f) = +15 cm

Object distance (u) = – 10 cm

Image distance (v) =?

According to the mirror formula,

The image is virtual, erect and diminished.

The image is located at a distance of 6 cm from the mirror on the other side of the mirror.

The positive and a value of less than 1 magnification indicates that the image formed is virtual, erect, and diminished.
