Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Question

For a convex spherical mirror that has focal length f = -12.0 cm, what is the distance of an object from the mirror’s vertex if the height of the image is half the height of the object?
