A girl places her face 25.0 cm in front of a mirror. She sees her reflection magnified by a factor of +1.20. What is the radius of curvature of the mirror?
Focal length of the mirror = f
Distance of the girl's face from the mirror = do = 25 cm
Distance of the girl's image from the mirror = di
Magnification of the image = M = +1.2
di = -30 cm
By Mirror Equation,
f = 150 cm
Radius of the curvature of the mirror = R
R = 2f
R = 2(150)
R = 300 cm
Radius of curvature of the mirror = 300 cm
