We wish to obtain an erect image of an object, using a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. What should be the range of distance of the object from the mirror? What is the nature of the image? Is the image larger or smaller than the object? Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.

Which of the following is true of all virtual images?

virtual, erect,and smaller than the object; virtual, inverted,and larger than the object; real, inverted,and larger than the object; real, erect, andlarger than the object; real, inverted,and smaller than the object
======================================

An object is 2m in front of a plane mirror. Its image is:

virtual, erect,and 2m in front of the mirror

virtual, inverted,and 2m in front of the mirror

virtual, inverted,and 2m behind the mirror

(a) A concave spherical mirror forms an inverted image 4.00 times larger than the object. Assuming the distance between object and image is 0.300 m, find the focal length of the mirror. ____ m

(b) Suppose the mirror is convex. The distance between the image and the object is the same as in part (a), but the image is 0.500 the size of the object. Determine the focal length of the mirror.

(a) A concave spherical mirror forms an inverted image 4.00 times larger than the object. Assuming the distance between object and image is 0.600 m, find the focal length of the mirror.
(b) What If? Suppose the mirror is convex. The distance between the image and the object is the same as in part (a), but the image is 0.500 the size of the object. Determine the focal length of the mirror

An object that is 1.0 cm tall is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror whose focal length is 15.0 cm. The base of the object is 25.0 cm from the vertex of the mirror. Make a ray diagram with two or three rays the locate the image. Using the mirror equation and the magnification equation, and the proper sign convention, calculate the image distance and the magnification. Is the image real or virtual? Is the image inverted or upright comapred to the object? Is the image taller or shorter than the object?
