Problem 1 : Concave Mirror

Problem Statement: A concave mirror has a focal length of 10 cm. An object is placed at a distance of 20 cm from the mirror. Determine the position and nature of the image formed.

Solution :

Given: Focal length ((f)) = 10 cm, Object distance ((u)) = 20 cm.
Use the mirror equation: $(\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}) .$
Substitute the values: $(\frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{20}) .$
Solve for (v): v = 20 cm.
Now, use the magnification formula: $(M = - \frac{v}{u}) .$
Substitute the values: $(M = - \frac{20, cm}{20, cm} = - 1) .$

So, the image is formed at 20 cm from the mirror, on the same side as the object, and it is real and inverted.
