Question

Object O stands on the central axis of a spherical or plane mirror. For this situation (The table below. All distances are in centimeters.), find (a)the radius of curvature r, (b) the image distance i, (c) the lateral magnification m, whether (d) the image is real or virtual, (e) inverted or noninverted from O, and (f) on the same side of the mirror as object O or on the opposite side.

Also, as there is no label, I don't know what the "17" is off to the far left side of the table. Please explain. Thank you!

Explanation / Answer

a) R = 2*f = 2*22= 44cm

b) 1/S + 1/S' = 2/R = 1/f

1/17 + 1/ S' = 1/22

S' = ?74.8 cm

c) m = -S'/S = -(?74.8)/17 = 4.4

d) m = + ve so the image virtual

e) non inverted

f) on opposite
