An object 0.600 cm tall is placed 24.0 cm to the left of the vertex of a concave spherical mirror. The image of the object is inverted and is 2.50 cm tall. What is the radius of curvature of the mirror?
Added by Gary B.
Step 1
Since the image is inverted, the magnification is negative. So, we have: m = -h'/h = -2.50 cm / 0.600 cm = -4.17 The magnification is also equal to the ratio of the image distance (d') to the object distance (d). So, we have: m = -d'/d From this, we can solve Show more…

An object $0.600 \mathrm{~cm}$ tall is placed $24.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ to the left of the vertex of a concave spherical mirror. The image of the object is inverted and is $2.50 \mathrm{~cm}$ tall. What is the radius of curvature of the mirror?
The radius of curvature of spherical mirror is 25.0 cm. If a real object of height 5.5 cm is located 21.0 cm to the left of the reflective surface of the mirror, what will the magnification of the image be?
