when a coin is placed 16.9 cm away from the center of a concave mirror, its image is located 42.9 cm behind the mirror. what is the focal length of the mirror?

Respuesta :

The focal length of the concave mirror is 26.2 cm.

object distance , u = 16.7 cm

image distance , v = -46.1 cm

Now, let the focal length of the mirror is f

The mirror formula is given by,

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

Putting the values of the given parameters to evaluate the focal length of the concave mirror.

1/f = 1/16.7 - 1/46.1

We solve the above equation and thus the value of the focal length of the concave mirror comes out to be,

f = 26.2 cm

The focal length of the mirror is 26.2 cm
