A science museum has created ahuge concave mirror with a focal length of 5 m, and mounted it sothat it covers the entire wall at one end of a long hallway. If youstand on a center line painted down the middle of the hallway,you're on the mirror's principal axis. You and a friend arestanding on the center line, you're 8 m from the mirror, and yourfriend is 20 m from it. Can both you and your friend see the imageof you created by the mirror? Explain. (Don't worry about either ofyou blocking the other's line of sight – you both can crane yourheads as needed. The mirror is really, really big.)

THE INSTRUCTORS RESPONSE WAS:
Very good. Please include units when giving your results. As forthe image being behind you, couldn't you just turn around to seeit?

You don't need to find where your friend's image is, just figureout whether he'd be able to see your image or not. How do you knowhe can see your image?
