Que. - When a object is placed at a distance of 60 cm. from a convex mirror, the magnification produced is 0.5. Where should the object be placed to get a magnification of 1/3?

from the first case,
applying magnification and mirror formula, we get f = +60cm.

the we use again magnification and mirror formula taking u = -3v,
we get u = -120 cm which is req answer.

u= -60 cm
m= 0.5
m= -v/u
v= -mu
 = -0.5*(-60)
 = 30 cm
According to mirror formula,
1/f=1/v+1/u
    =1/30+(-1/60)
    = 60 cm
 
New m=1/3
        m= -v/u
      1/3= -v/u
        u=-3v
Again, 1/f=1/v+1/u
1/60= 1/v+(-1/3v)
    v= 40 cm
Thus u= - (3*40)
          = -120 cm
