You have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q (the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 0.63m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 4.2m, what is the focal length of the mirror?

An object is placed 25.0 cm from the surface of a convex mirror and an image is formed. The same object is placed 20.0 cm in front of a plane mirror and. again, an image is formed. Suppose in each ease the object is located at x = 0 and the mirrors lie along the positive x axis. If the images formed in the two mirrors lie at the same x coordinate, determine the radius of curvature of the convex mirror.
A high fountain of water is located at the center of a circular pool as shown in Figure P1.47. Not wishing to get his feet wet, a student walks around the pool and measures its circumference to be 15.0 m. Next, the student stands at the edge of the pool and uses a protractor to gauge the angle of elevation at the bottom of the fountain to be 55.0. How high is the fountain? Figure P1.47
A light bulb is placed 10 cm from a plane mirror, which faces a convex mirror of radius of curvature 8 cm. The plane mirror is located at a distance of 30 cm from the vertex of the convex mirror. Find the location of two images in the convex mirror. Are there other images? If so, where are they located?
A student notices that the image produced from a large concave mirror of a distant skyscraper (h = 106 m) is inverted and the magnitude of the height is |hi| = 1.16 m tall. The image is located d = 152 cm in front of the mirror. Numerically, what is the focal length of the mirror, f, in cm?
A concave mirror has the focal length equal to 0.491 m. To form a real image that is triple the size of the object on a screen, at what distance in front of the mirror should the screen be placed (in m; answer a positive number)?
If an object is placed 25 cm in front of a concave spherical mirror and the lateral magnification of the image is 64, what is the focal length of the mirror. Answer in cm here.
A mirror is used to produce a virtual image that is 5.00 times bigger than the object. If the focal length of the mirror is 100 cm, where will the image be located?
If a real image is formed along the principal axis 20 cm from a concave mirror with the focal length 15 cm, what is the object distance from the mirror?
A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 68.4 inches. How far (in inches) from the mirror is the focal point?
A concave mirror forms a real image at 35.2 cm from the mirror surface along the principal axis. If the corresponding object is at a 12.6-cm distance, what is the mirror’s focal length?
The equation connecting s, p, and f for a simple lens can be employed for spherical mirrors, too. A concave mirror with a focal length of 7 cm forms an image of a small object placed 11 cm in front of the mirror. Where will this image be located? (For spherical mirrors, positive p means the image is on the same side of the mirror as the object.) p = cm
If a virtual image is formed along the principal axis 10.0 cm from a concave mirror with the focal length 15.0 cm, what is the object distance from the mirror?
