To construct a ray diagram we use two rays of light which are so chosen that it is easy to determine their directions after reflection from the mirror. Choose these two ras and state the path of these rays after reflection from a concave mirror . Use these two rays to find the nature and position of the image of an object plced at a distance of 15 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm.

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Object distance (u) = -15 cm (negative because the object is on the same side as the incoming light) - Focal length (f) = -10 cm (negative for concave mirror) ### Step 2: Use the mirror formula The mirror formula is given by: ...
