Question
An object whose height is 5.5 cm is at adistance of 11.5 cm from a spherical concave mirror. Itsimage is real and has a height of 9.8 cm. Calculate theradius of curvature of the mirror. How far from the mirror is it necessary to placethe above object in order to have a virtual image with a height of9.8 cm?

Explanation / Answer
magnification m=image height/object height=I/O
m=9.8/5.5
