Express your answer with the appropriate units.

-27.0 cm

Part B

Assuming the radius of curvature of the bowl is 27.0cm , locate the image of the fish if the fish is located 21.0cm from the side of the bowl between the observer and the center of the bowl. Assume the fish is small.

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Please answer part B.

-27.0 cm

Explanation / Answer

given that object distance is p=21cm
and the radius of curvature is R=27cm
then the focal length is f=R/2=13.5cm
if q is the image distance then
1/f=1/p+1/q
1/13.5=1/21+1/q
1/q=1/13.5-1/21
q=37.8cm
