A spherical concave shaving mirror has a radius of curvature

A spherical, concave shaving mirror has a radius of curvature of 35.0 cm .

Part A

What is the magnification of a person\'s face when it is 10.5 cm to the left of the vertex of the mirror?

Part B

Where is the image?

The picture is

Where is the image?

of the mirror.

Part C

Is the image real or virtual?

Solution

a)

m = -v/u

m = 26.25/10.5  = 2.5

b)

f = -35/2 = -17.5cm

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

u = -10.5 cm

v = 1/(-1/17.5 +1/10.5)

v = 26.25 cm to the right

c)

virtual
