The distance of the object from the mirror is 3cm.
To calculate the distance of the object from the mirror, we make use of the mirror formula
<h3>Mirror formula</h3>
- 1/f = (1/u)+(1/v)............ Equation 1
Where:
- f = Focal length of the mirror
- v = image distance
- u = object distance.
Using the real is positive convention,
Given:
Substitute these values into equation 1 and solve for u
- 1/5 = (-1/10)+(1/u)
- 1/5+(1/10) = 1/u
- 1/u = (2+1)/10
- 1/u = 3/10
- u = 10/3
- u = 3.33
- u = 3 cm
Hence, The distance of the object from the mirror is 3cm.
