Two students arrange an object in front of a spherical mirror (focal length of 3.6cm) so that the image is 3.00 times larger than the object, and draw diagrams to show how and why they placed the object where they did. The instructor collects their work and finds that each student put the object at a DIFFERENT place relative to the focal point, and yet both students correctly got an image 3.00 times as large. Your job is to show with a calculation the two locations of the object and which a ray diagram, show how each is in fact magnified appropriately.

Please help me with the calculations. I can make the diagram according to the calculations.

Answer #1

Remember when u=4.8 then image is real.

When u=2.4 then image is virtual (inside the mirror).
