If a converging mirror has a focus of 12Cm and a candle is put 30Cm away from the mirror what are the characteristics?

For a converging mirror (concave mirror) with a focus of 12 cm and a candle placed 30 cm away, we can use the mirror formula ( \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i} ). Here, ( f = 12 ) cm and ( d_o = 30 ) cm. By calculating, we find that the image distance ( d_i ) is approximately 8 cm. The characteristics of the image are that it is real, inverted, and smaller than the object since the object distance is greater than twice the focal length.
