A virtual image of magnification +0.50 is produced when an object is placed $5.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ in front of a spherical mirror. (a) The mirror is (1) convex, (2) concave, (3) flat. Explain. (b) Find the radius of curvature of the mirror.
The radius of curvature of a spherical concave mirror is $20.0 \mathrm{~cm}$. Describe the image formed when a $10.0-\mathrm{cm}$ -tall object is (a) $5.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the mirror, (b) $20.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the mirror, (c) $50.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the mirror, and (d) $100.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the mirror. For each case give the image distance, the image height, the type of image (real or virtual), and the orientation of the image (upright or inverted). Example 24-1
A convex spherical mirror, whose focal length has a magnitude of 15.0 cm, is to form an image 10.0 cm behind the mirror. (a) Where should the object be placed? (b) What is the magnification of the mirror?
