Question
A spherical mirror has radius of curvature -44.0 cm. When you look at your eye in the mirror, your eye’s reflection appears to be 18.0 cm behind the mirror’s surface. (a) Is the mirror concave or convex? (b) How far is your eye from the mirror? (c) What is the lateral magnification of the image of your eye? Is the image real or virtual? Erect or inverted? Larger or smaller than your eye?
