Question

A concave mirror has a radius of curvature equal to 24 cm.

    a) For an object near the optical axis at distances 55 cm, 24 cm, and 12 cm, use ray diagrams

        to locate the image. For each case, state whether the image is real or virtual; upright or

        inverted; and enlarged, reduced, or the same size as the object.

    b) Calculate the image distances and magnifications for the object distances from a) using the

         mirror and magnification equations.
