Where will this image be located?

Question

The equation connecting s, p, and f for a simple lens can be employed for spherical mirrors, too. A concave mirror with a focal length of 6 cm

 forms an image of a small object placed 11 cm

 in front of the mirror. Where will this image be located? (For spherical mirrors, positive p means the image is on the same side of the mirror as the object.)

Answer 1

using

1/V +1/U = 1/F For a mirror

U = -11cm

F= -6cm

1/V = -1/6 + 1/11

V = -66/5 = -13.2 cm

Using sign convention mentioned in question

p= 13.2 cm Image is 13.2 cm from mirror on the side of object

Its enlarged inverted image on the same side as object
