Two concave mirrors are places 40cm apart and are facing each other. A point object lies between them at a distance of 12cm from the mirror of focal length 10cm. The other mirror has a focal length of 15cm. Find the location of final image formed after two reflections - first at the mirror nearer to the object and second at the other mirror.

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the process of finding the image formed by the first concave mirror and then using that image as the object for the second concave mirror. ### Step 1: Identify the parameters for the first mirror (M1) - **Focal length (f1)** of the first mirror (M1) = -10 cm (concave mirror) - **Object distance (u1)** from M1 = -12 cm (the object is in front of the mirror) ### Step 2: Apply the mirror formula for the first mirror The mirror formula is given by: ...
