Focal length = f = - 4 cm Height of object = + 2 cm Object distance = u = - 9 cm Image distance = v = ? Height of image = size = h' = ? From thew mirror formula
Putting all the values
After solving v=−7.2cm
As a result, the image is created 7.2 cm away from the mirror.
Now for finding magnification We know,
Putting all the values
After solving m=−0.8
As the magnification is negative, the image is real, inverted.
