Detailed Solution

To get an erect image of

6 cm

tall, at

6.7 cm

(front of the mirror), distance an object of

2 cm

long, to be placed from a concave mirror of focal length of

10 cm

.
Given,
Focal length of concave mirror,

f = - 10 cm

Height of the object

{, h}_{0} = 2

Height of the image,

h_{i} = 6

Using,

m = \frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}

m = \frac{6}{2}

m = 3 cm (erect image)

Also,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

3 = - \frac{v}{u}

v = - 3 u

Now using the mirror formula;

\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}

\frac{1}{- 3 u} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{- 10}

u = - \frac{20}{3}

u = - 6.7 cm

Since it’s a concave mirror, the negative sign indicates the image is formed in front of the mirror.
