Question
A spherical mirror is to be used to form an image, two times as tall as an object, on a screen positioned 5.8 m from the mirror.
(a) Describe the type of mirror required.
(b) Where should the mirror be positioned relative to the object?
The mirror is a ---Mirror Type--- convex concave mirror and it has a focal length of m.
(b) Where should the mirror be positioned relative to the object?
The object should be m in front of the mirror.
