In front of a spherical concave mirror of radius 30.5 cm, you position an object of height 3.98 cm somewhere along the principal axis. The resultant image has a height of 11.54 cm. How far from the mirror is the object located?
A concave spherical mirror has radius of curvature 4 m. An object, 5cm high, is placed 1 m in front of the mirror. Determine the position and height of the image (a) by construction of a ray diagram, and (b) by the mirror equation.
A concave mirror has a focal length of 40.6 cm. The distance between an object and its image is 74.8 cm. Find (a) the object and (b) image distances, assuming that the object lies beyond the center of curvature and (c) the object and (d) image distances, assuming that the object lies between the focal point and the mirror.
