The image distance when a boy holds a toy soldier in front of a concave mirror, with a focal length of 0.45 m. is -0.56 m.
<h3>What is image distance?</h3>
This is the distance between the image formed and the focus when an object is placed in front of a plane mirror.
To calculate the image distance, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- 1/f = 1/u+1/v........... Equation 1
Where:
- f = Focal length of the mirror
- v = Image distance
- u = object distance
From the question,
Given:
Substitute these values into equation 1 and solve for the image distance
- 1/0.45 = 1/0.25 + 1/v
- 2.22 = 4+1/v
- 1/v = 2.22-4
- 1/v = -1.78
- v = 1/(-1.78)
- v = -0.56 m
Hence, The image distance is -0.56 m.

Theoretically, the light ray will not change direction. The center of a lens is called the optical center. If the ray of light hits the lens even just a little bit off center, the light ray is refracted. Refraction happens when the incident and exit angles of the ray are different. The optical center is guaranteed to not have any difference in angle, which allows the light ray to pass through directly without changing direction.
Because the nucleus is made up of positively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons, and no negatively charged particles, the charge of the nucleus will always be equal to the sum of the charges of its protons. A simpler way to say it is because each proton has a +1 charge, the charge of the nucleus will be the same as the number of protons in it.
