Question

A convex mirror has a radius of curvature of 40.0 cm. If the object distance is 1,000.0 cm, find the image distance.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A convex mirror has a radius of curvature of 40.0 cm. If the object distance is 1000.0 cm, find the image distance and the magnification. Multiplying both sides by 1000x yields x+1000=−50x and 51x=−1000 and x=−19.6 cm. Since the image distance is negative, it means the image is behind the mirror and is virtual.
