Question

For each of the following problems, you are to a) construct a ray diagram on graph paper to locate and describe the image and b) analytically determine the image location (supplying proof whether the image is real or virtual), image and size magnification (supplying proof whether the image is upright or inverted, and magnified or de-magnified). Be sure to fully label each diagram: p, q, f, O (object), I (image), h, h'.

1. An object is 5.50 cm high and is placed 3.30 cm to the left of a convex mirror. The mirror has a radius of curvature of 5.20 cm. Locate and describe the image.

2. A 2.00 cm tall object is placed 4.00 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius 8.00 cm. Locate and describe the image.
