Concave Mirror

  • Foacal length =-20\; cm
  • two times magnified virtual image (m)=+2 (image is virtual)

    \frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\; \; \;\; \; m=\frac{-v}{u}=+2

    \frac{-1}{24}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-1}{20}\; \; \; \; \; v=-24

        u=-10\; cm

object must be placed 10\; cm in front of mirror.
