Question

The image behind a convex mirror (radius of curvature = 63 cm) is located 17 cm from the mirror. (a) Where is the object located? m from the mirror (b) what is the magnification of the mirror c) Determine whether the image is upright or inverted upright inverted (d) Determine whether the image is larger or smaller than the object larger smaller

Answer 1

a.)using mirror formula

1/di + 1/do = 1/f

f = 63/2 = -31.6 cm

di = -17 cm

do = 36.79 behind the mirror

b.) m = -di/do= 17/36.79 = 0.46

c.) upright m is positive

d.)smaller as m<1
