An object 4 cm in height, is placed at 15 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed to obtain a sharp image of the object. Calculate the height of the image.

Given
h1 =+4
f = - 10 cm
u = -15 cm
v = ?
h2 = ?
Using the mirror equation,

Thus, to obtain a sharp image of the object the screen should be placed in front of the mirror at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror.
