An object 2.0 mm high is placed 16 cm from a convex mirror of radius of curvature 16 cm. di = -5 cm. Determine the image size using the equation for magnification m = hi/ho = -di/do. Follow the sign conventions.
Added by Matthew R.
Step 1
0 mm = 0.2 cm Object distance (do) = -16 cm (since the object is placed in front of the mirror, the distance is negative) Radius of curvature (R) = 16 cm Image distance (di) = -5 cm Using the magnification formula: m = hi/ho = -di/do Show more…
