**Problem 4: Understanding Magnification with Mirrored Sphere Sections**A section of a sphere is mirrored on both sides. If the magnification of an object is +4.00 when the section is used as a concave mirror, what is the magnification of an object at the same distance in front of the convex side?**Explanation:**- A concave mirror produces a positive magnification when an object is placed within the focal point, indicating that the image is upright and magnified.- When using the convex side of the mirror, the light diverges, typically resulting in a reduced and inverted image. The magnification will be negative, indicating the image is virtual and smaller.This problem requires understanding the mirror equation and properties of spherical mirrors to determine the magnification with the convex side.
