If a person stands 1.85 m infront of a mirror and his or her image is four times their height and upright. (a) What is the radius of curvature of the mirror, (b) Is the image real or virtual? (c) Where is the image?

Step 1
The magnification m of a mirror is given by m = -v/u. Given that the image is four times the height of the object, m = 4. Since the image is upright, m is positive. Show more…
