Consider a typical convex passenger-side mirror with a focal length of -80 cm. A 1.6-m-tall cyclist on a bicycle is 25 m from the mirror. You are 1.0 m from the mirror, and suppose, for simplicity, that the mirror, you, and the cyclist all lie along a line.Part A How far are you from the image of the cyclist?Part B How far would you have been from the image if the mirror were flat?Part C What is the image height?Part D What would the image height have been if the mirror were flat?
