Question

An object is placed 9 cm from a convexmirror having a focal length of magnitude 5.6 cm.
(a) Use graph paper to construct an accurateray diagram for this situation. From your ray diagram, determinethe location of the image, its magnification, and whether it isupright or inverted.
(b) Check your answers to part (a) using the mirror equation. q = cm m = cm
Is the image upright or inverted?
inverted image

inverted image
uprightimage q = cm m = cm

Explanation / Answer

(b). 1/-f = (1/p) + (1/q)

Then, m=(-q/p)

Positive "m" value indicates that the image is upright.
