Explanation / Answer

an object with a height of 47 cm is placed 2.4 m in front of aconvex mirror with a focal length of -0.40 m. A. Determine the appropriate location of the image using aray diagram (answer is behind the mirror). 1/v=1/f-1/u= -1/0.4-1/2.4=>v=-0.3428m B. Determine the appropriate size of the image using a raydiagram m=-v/u=0.3428/2.4=0.1428 so size of the of the image=47*0.1428=6.714cm . C. Is the image upright or inverted? upright.
