An object 0440 cm tall is placed 175 cm to the left of the v
An object 0.440 cm tall is placed 17.5 cm to the left of the vertex of a convex spherical mirror having a radius of curvature of 23.0 cm. Calculate the position of the image. Express your answer in centimeters to two significant figures. s\' = -6.9 cm Part B Calculate the size of the image. Express your answer in centimeters to three significant figures. y\' = cm
Solution
1/f = 1/do + 1/di
f = r/2 = -23/2 = -11.5 cm
1/-11.5 = 1/17.5 + 1/di
di = -6.94 cm
-------------------------------------------------------
m = -di/do = 6.94 / 17.5 = 0.397
m= yi/yo
yi =m * y0 = 0.397 * 0.440 cm
= 0.174 cm
