electric field at every point is away from it.

Final Answer: YM = `. f3 jÅ

k = _6 jÅ

As we can see, we obtained a negative value for image distance for an object in front of a concave mirror.
Thus, we conclude that the image must be formed on the opposite side of the mirror, or in other words, behind
the mirror. This image which is formed on the opposite side of the object is called a virtual image. Therefore, the
image of the above pencil is located about 8.57 cm behind the mirror.
