A small status has a height of `1cm` and is placed in front of a spherical mirror. The image of the statue is inverted and is `0.5cm` tall and located to `10cm` in front of the mirror. Find the focal length and nature of the mirror.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the given data
- Height of the object (statue), \( h_o = 1 \, \text{cm} \)
- Height of the image, \( h_i = -0.5 \, \text{cm} \) (negative because the image is inverted)
- Distance of the image from the mirror, \( v = -10 \, \text{cm} \) (negative because the image is in front of the mirror)

### Step 2: Use the magnification formula
