Step 1
We are given the radius of curvature (R) of the convex mirror, which is 1.20 x 10^2 cm. We can find the focal length (f) using the formula: f = R/2 Show more…

The radius of curvature of a convex mirror is 120 cm. An object that is 10.0 cm high is placed 35.0 cm in front of this mirror (to the left (corrected from right!)). Calculate (a) the location and (b) the height of the image using the our sign convention (plus or minus for concave convex, and left and right hand side).

The radius of curvature of a convex mirror is $1.00 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~cm}$. An object that is $10.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ high is placed $25.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ in front of this mirror. Using a ray diagram drawn to scale, measure (a) the location and (b) the height of the image. The mirror must be drawn to scale.
