b) 10 cm from the mirror. State whether each image is real or virtual, inverted or not, and enlarged or reduced.

c) Use the mirror equation to locate and describe part (a).

d) Do the same for part (b).

Answer 1

Hope you will satisfied by the answer and this solution will help you.

(a) v=-22.5cm, image is real, inverted and smaller than object.
