A woman stands 1.8 meters from a convex mirror with focal length -0.7 meters. If she is 1.6 meters tall, calculate the height of her reflection
Focal length of the convex mirror = f = -0.7 m
Distance of the woman from the mirror = do = 1.8 m
Distance of the image formed from the mirror = di
By Mirror Equation,
di = -0.504 m
The negative sign indicates the image is formed behind the mirror.
Magnification of the image = M
M = 0.28
Height of the woman = ho = 1.6 m
Height of the image = hi
hi = 0.448 m
Height of the reflection of the woman = 0.448 m
