A mirror equation is an equation that relates object distance and image distance to focal length. The distance of the image from the mirror will be -3 cm.
A mirror equation is an equation that relates object distance and image distance to focal length. It's sometimes referred to as a mirror formula.
[tex]\rm \frac{1}{v} +\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{f} \\\\[/tex]
The given data in the problem is;
f is the focal length = -4. 5 cm
u is the object distance=12. 0 cm
v is the image distance =?
[tex]\rm \frac{1}{v} +\frac{1}{12.} =\frac{1}{-4.5} \\\\ \rm \frac{1}{v}= \frac{1}{-3} \\\\ \rm v= -3cm[/tex]
Hence the distance of the image from the mirror will be -3 cm.
