    Answer:

    f =-20 cm

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    The magnification of a spherical mirror, m = -1

    The image distance, v = 40 cm (for negative magnification)

    The magnification of a concave mirror is negative. The mirror showing -1 magnification is a concave mirror.

    Let f be the focal length of the mirror. We know that,

    m=\dfrac{-v}{u}\\\\-1=\dfrac{-v}{u}\\\\v=u

    Object distance, u = -40 cm

    Using mirror’s formula i.e.

    \dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}\\\\f=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{-40}+\dfrac{1}{-40}}\\\\f=-20\ cm

    So, the focal length of the mirror is 20 cm.
