Question

An object 0.800 cm tall is placed 14.0 cm to the left of the vertex of a concave spherical mirror having a radius of curvature of 24.0 cm.

Part A

Calculate the position of the image.

Express your answer in centimeters to three significant figures.

S'= _____cm

Part B

Calculate the size of the image.

Express your answer in centimeters to three significant figures

Find the orientation (upright or inverted) and the nature (real or virtual) of the image.

- upright and real

- upright and virtual

-inverted and real

-inverted and virtual

Explanation / Answer

f=R/2

so,

1/u+1/v=1/f

or 1/14 + 1/v=2/24

or v=84 cm

b) m=v/u

and h'=mh

so h'=0.800*(84/14)

=4.8 cm

c) it is inverted and real image
