Question

The writing on the passenger-side mirror of your car says "Warning! Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" (Figure 1) . There is no such warning on the driver's mirror. Consider a typical convex passenger-side mirror with a focal length of -80 cm. A 1.7-m-tall cyclist on a bicycle is 30 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.

Explanation / Answer

here,

focal length, f = -80 cm

height of object, ho = 170 cm

object distance, do = 30 m = 3000 cm

Since the mirror is flat, so the final height will be equal to original height

hf = 170 cm or 1.7 m
