Q1:An object whose height is 3.7 cm is at a distance of 9.5 cm from a spherical concave mirror. Its image is real and has a height of 10.7 cm. Calculate the radius of curvature of the mirror. A:1.41?101 cm Q2:How far from the mirror is it necessary to place the above object in order to have a virtual image with a height of 10.7 cm? A:? Please answer question 2 and show all work.

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

radius of curvature = 14.1 cm

focal length , f = r/2

f = 14.1/2

f = 7.05 cm

Now, for hi = 10.7 cm

hi/ho = -di/do

10.7/3.7 = -di/do

di = -2.89do

Using mirror formula

1/f = 1/di + 1/do

1/7.05 = -1/2.89do + 1/do

do = 4.61 cm

the object should be placed at 4.61 cm away
