Question

An object is placed 13.7 cm from aconvex mirror having a focal length of magnitude 7.4 cm. (a) Use graph paper to construct anaccurate ray diagram for this situation. From your ray diagram,determine the location of the image, its magnification, and whetherit is upright or inverted. (Do this on paper. Your instructor mayask you to turn in this work.)

(b) Check your answers to part (a) using the mirror equation. q = 1 cm m = 2 cm
Is the image upright or inverted?
3 upright image
inverted image 3 q = 1 cm m = 2 cm

Explanation / Answer

So using the equation (1/p)+ (1/q) = (1/-f) You would get: (1/13.7) +(1/q)= (1/-7.4) q=-4.8047 The to solve for m= (-q/p) m= (-(-4.8047/13.7)) m=0.3507
