Chapter 23, Problem 66AP
An object 10.0 cm tall is placed at the zero mark of a meter-stick. A spherical mirror located at some point on the meter-stick creates an image of the object that is upright, 4.00 cm tall, and located at the 42.0-cm mark of the meterstick. (a) Is the mirror convex or concave? (b) Where is the mirror? (c) What is the mirror s focal length?

For a convex spherical mirror that has focal length f = -12.0 cm, what is the distance of an object from the mirror’s vertex if the height of the image is half the height of the object?
For a concave spherical mirror that has focal length f = +18.0 cm, what is the distance of an object from the mirror’s vertex if the image is real and has the same height as the object?
An object is placed at a position in front of a spherical mirror such that and image is
formed at a distance of 6.47 cm on the back side of the mirror. If the lateral
magnification of the image is 2.52, what must the focal length of the mirror be?
