Answer #1

Using mirror formula where v is image distance, u is object distance from the mirror, f is focal length of the mirror.

As per sign convention, f is taken as negative for converging mirror, u is taken as negative.

  
  

Magnification,

Magnification of the image is 5.

A concave mirror of focal length 15 cm is at x=0. An object is placed at x=20 cm. A convex mirror of focal length 15 cm is at x=50 cm. Consider that light rays from the object strike the concave mirror first. Using the image formed by the concave mirror as the object, determine the location and magnification of the final image (formed by the convex mirror).
