The image distance when a boy holds a toy soldier in front of a concave mirror, with a focal length of 0.45 m. is -0.56 m.

What is image distance?

This is the distance between the image formed and the focus when an object is placed in front of a plane mirror.

To calculate the image distance, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • 1/f = 1/u+1/v........... Equation 1

Where:

  • f = Focal length of the mirror
  • v = Image distance
  • u = object distance

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 0.45 m
  • u = 0.25 m

Substitute these values into equation 1 and solve for the image distance

  • 1/0.45 = 1/0.25 + 1/v
  • 2.22 = 4+1/v
  • 1/v = 2.22-4
  • 1/v = -1.78
  • v = 1/(-1.78)
  • v = -0.56 m

Hence, The image distance is -0.56 m.
