Calculate the position of an object placed in front of a convex mirror having focal length of 12 cm such that an image is formed 6 cm away from the mirror
A
4. 0 cm
B
3. 0 cm
C
12.0 cm
D
9.0 cm
correct option: c

f = -12 cm, v = - 6 cm

(1)/v + (1)/u =(1)/f

(1)/-6 + (1)/u = (1)/-12

(1)/u = (1)/-12 + (1)/6 = (1 + 2)/12 = (1)/12

∴ u = 12 cm
