.A concave mirror forms an image on a wall 3.00 m in front of the mirror, of a headlamp filament
10 cm in front of the mirror. What is the radius of curvature and the focal length of the mirror?
You are standing 1.5 m from a convex security mirror in a store. You estimate the height of your image to be half of your actual height. Estimate the radius of curvature of the mirror. Follow the sign conventions.
