Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

An object is placed in front of convex mirror at a distance u equals 35 space cm

The image is formed behind the mirror at a distance v equals 18 space cm

In the second case object is placed at a distance u apostrophe equals 20 space cm in front of the mirror.

Find:

Image distance for the second case.
