Question

An object is placed 8 cm from a convex mirror having a focal length of magnitude 5.4 cm. Use graph paper to construct an accurate ray diagram for this situation. From your ray diagram, determine the location of the image, its magnification, and whether it is upright or inverted. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.) Check your answers to part (a) using the mirror equation. q = Your answer differs from the correct answer by 10% to 100%. cm m = cm Is the image upright or inverted? upright image inverted image

Explanation / Answer

A)draw the graph b)u=-8cm f=5.4cm and v=5.4*8/8+5.4=3.223cms c)m=-v/u=-3.223/-8=0.403 image is upright
