A 8 cm-tall object is placed at 10.0 cm in front of a convex mirror with a focal length of 8.0 cm. What is the position of its image in relation to the mirror, and what are its characteristics?
Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.
A 8 cm-tall object is placed at 10.0 cm in front of a convex mirror with a focal length of 8.0 cm. What is the position of its image in relation to the mirror, and what are its characteristics?
- 4.4 cm on the same side of mirror, virtual, upright, and 0.44 times smaller.
- 4.4 cm on the other side of (behind) mirror, real, inverted, and 0.44 times bigger.
- 40.0 cm on the same side of mirror, real, inverted, 4.0 times bigger
- 4.4 cm on the other side of (behind) mirror, virtual, upright, 0.44 times smaller.
- 4.4 cm on the same side of mirror, real, upright, 4.0 times bigger.
An object 2.0 cm in height is placed 10.0 cm in front of a concave mirror with a focal length of 8.0 cm. What is the position of its image in relation to the mirror, and what are its characteristics?

- 40.0 cm on the other side of (behind) mirror, virtual, inverted, and 20.0 times bigger.
- 10.0 cm on the same side (front) of mirror, real, inverted, 6.0 times bigger
- 40.0 cm on the other side of (behind) mirror, virtual, upright, 4.0 times bigger.
- 40.0 cm on the same side (front) of mirror, real, inverted, 4.0 times bigger.
