  1. Answer:

    h2 = – 4 cm (real iamge)

    h1 = 1 cm

    u = – 20 cm

    (i) v = ?

    m = h2/h1 = – (v/u)

    ⇒ -4/1 = -(v/-20)

    ⇒ v = -80 cm

    Image forms in front of the concave mirror.

    (ii) f = ?

    1/v + 1/u = 1/f

    1/-80 + 1/-20 = 1/f

    1/f = – (1/80) – 1/20 = (-1 – 4)/80 = – (5/80)

    f = – 16 cm
