Question

An object is moved along the central axis of a spherical mirror while the lateral magnification m of it is measured. The figure gives m versus object distance p for the range pa = 3.2 cm to pb = 9.4 cm. What is the magnification of the object when the object is 18.0 cm from the mirror?

Step 1

The magnification \( m \) is given by the formula: \[ m = -\frac{q}{p} \] where \( q \) is the image distance. The mirror equation is: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} \] where \( f \) is the focal length of the mirror. Show more…
