A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of 10.0 cm. Calculate the location and size of the image formed of an 8.00-mm-tall object whose distance from the mirror is (a) 15.0 cm. (b) 10.0 cm. (c) 2.50 cm. and (d) 10.0 m.
6. Repeat the previous problem, except use a convex mirror with the same magnitude of focal length.
24.6. Set Up: To find the location of the image use
Solve: (a) s = 15.0 cm.
y′ = my = +2.00 mm. The image is 3.75 cm behind the mirror. It is 2.00 mm tall and is upright.
(b) s = 10.0 cm.
y′ = my = +2.67 nun. The image is 3.33 cm behind the mirror. It is 2.67 mm tall and is upright.
(c) s = 2.50 cm.
y′ = my = +5.33 nun. The image is 1.67 cm behind the mirror. It is 5.33 mm tall and is upright.
(d) s = 1000 cm.
y′ = my = +0.040 mm. The image is 4.98 cm behind the mirror. It is 0.040 mm tall and is upright.
