A pencil of height h is oriented perpendicular to the principal axis of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature of 0.300 m. Calculate the magnitude of the image height, in centimeters to three significant figures, if the pencil is placed at a distance d from the mirror. h = 12.0 cm d = 0.467 m
