30 cm in front of the mirror Explanation - The rays from the sun are considered parallel to the principal axis. These rays will converge at the focus of the concave mirror. It shows that focal length of the mirror is 15 cm and the centre of curvature is 30 cm. In case of concave mirror, when the object is placed at the centre of curvature, the image is formed at the centre of curvature itself and of the same size.
