### PSS 34.1 Image Formation by Mirrors

**Learning Goal:**
To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 34.1 Image Formation by Mirrors.

Consider an object located at position \( P \) in front of a concave mirror whose center of curvature is at position \( C \), as shown in **Figure 1**. Draw a principal-ray diagram to determine the size and position of the reflected image.

### Figure
(Note: Figure 1 shows a concave mirror with its center of curvature at point \( C \). The object is positioned at point \( P \), and there is a principal axis extending horizontally through these points. The vertical axis through \( P \) is also illustrated as \( Q \).)

---

**Correct:** This graphical technique shows that a real image is formed that is inverted and smaller than the object.
 
### EVALUATE your answer

#### Part C
You have determined the size and position of the image graphically. Now, use numerical methods to determine the magnification of the image produced by the mirror. Suppose the object is located at \( s = 35.0 \) cm from the vertex of the mirror and the radius of curvature of the mirror is \( R = 20.0 \) cm. What is the lateral magnification \( m \)?

Express your answer numerically to three significant figures.
