Question

You have a concave spherical mirror with a 12.9 cm radius of curvature. You place an object on the mirror's axis, 17.1 cm in front of the mirror. How far is the object's image from the mirror? image distance: If it can be determined, is the image real or virtual? real cannot be determined virtual If it can be determined, is the image upright or inverted with respect to the object? upright cannot be determined inverted

Answer 1

Given that the mirror is concave, so positive focal length

Focal length,

object distance,

-----

Use formula

ANSWER:

Since the image distance is positive, the image formed is real

ANSWER: Real image

==========

magnification,

With respect to object height, image height is negative, so image formed is inverted

ANSWER: Inverted Image
