1) A 1.5 cm tall object is placed 5 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 2.5 cm.
a. Calculate the distance of the image from the mirror in cm. Show formulas and calculations.
b. Calculate the height of the image in cm. Show formulas and calculations.
c. Using a ruler and the given info, show the precise position of the object and its height on the following diagram. Complete the ray diagram to show the formation of the image.
d. Using a ruler, measure the distance of the image you drew from the mirror. What is the measured distance in cm?
e. Using a ruler, measure the height of the image you drew. What is the measured value for the height of the image in cm?
f. How does the calculated image distance in (a) compare to the measured value of the image distance in (d)? How do you expect them to be?
g. How does the calculated image height in (b) compare to the measured value of the image height in (e)? How do you expect them to be?
