Object Distance in Convex Mirror Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Object Distance = (Image Distance*Focal Length of Convex Mirror)/(Image Distance-Focal Length of Convex Mirror)
u = (v*F_convex)/(v-F_convex)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Object Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Object Distance is the distance of the object from the mirror.
Image Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Image Distance is the distance of the image from the lens or the mirror.
Focal Length of Convex Mirror - (Measured in Meter) - Focal Length of Convex Mirror is a measure of how strongly the mirror diverges or converges light.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Image Distance: 0.27 Meter --> 0.27 Meter No Conversion Required
Focal Length of Convex Mirror: 0.35 Meter --> 0.35 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

u = (v*F_convex)/(v-F_convex) --> (0.27*0.35)/(0.27-0.35)

Evaluating ... ...

u = -1.18125

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-1.18125 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-1.18125 Meter <-- Object Distance

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
