a.
Answer to Problem 22PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The height of the image,
The distance of the image from the mirror,
Formula used:
Magnification,
Where,
Calculation:
Using the given values in magnification formula, the object’s distance will be,
Negative sign denotes that the image is virtual.
Conclusion:
Hence, the object’s distance is
