The correct answer is:
The concave mirror formula is
.... (i)
Since, for a given concave mirror, focal length is fixed, we partially differentiate Eq. (i) to get
or ...... (ii)
Multiplying Equation. (i) by , we get
or ..... (iii)
Using Equation. (iii) in Equation. (ii), we get
Given Therefore
The negative sign shown that image is longitudinally inverted. The magnitude of the size of the image is
