Question

Qualitative: Sketch the ray diagram of the set up on clean paper (graphing paper is highly suggested). Then based on the results of the ray diagram, describe the characteristics of the formed images.

Quantitative: Use the Mirror/Lens Equation and the Magnification Equation in order to describe the formed images mathematically.
1/f   =   1/do   +   1/di                  m   =   hi / ho   =   - di / do

set up: A 3-cm high object is placed 5 cm in front of a plane mirror

Identify: 
1) Nature
2) Orientation
3) Size 
4) Location
