A spherical mirror has a radius of $\mathrm{cm} .$ An object $3.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ high is located in front of the mirror at a distance of $(a) 48.0 \mathrm{~cm},(b) 36.0 \mathrm{~cm},(c) 24.0 \mathrm{~cm},(d) 12.0 \mathrm{~cm}$, and (e) $6.0 \mathrm{~cm}$. Find the image distance for each of these object distances.
A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 60 cm. Calculate the image distance of an object placed in front of the mirror at distances of 20 cm? a. 60 cm b. -30 cm c. 30 cm d. -60 cm

A spherical mirror is silvered on both sides, so it's concave on one side and convex on the other. When an object is $60 \mathrm{~cm}$ from one side, a real image forms $30 \mathrm{~cm}$ from that side. (a) Find the curvature radius. (b) Describe the image if the same object is held $60 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the other side of the mirror.
