- Assuming the orientation of the object is upright, if the magnification of a mirror or lens is negative, it means that A) the image must be smaller than the object. B) the image must be inverted and smaller than the object. C) the image must be inverted. D) the object must be farther from the mirror (or lens) than the image. E) the image must be farther from the mirror (or lens) than the object.arrow_forwardThe virtual image produced by a convex mirror is one fifth the size of the object. If the object is 30.9 cm in front of the mirror, what is the image distance? -6.18 cm You are correct.

C) Will the image be upright or inverted?arrow_forward+ Mirror Equation: Si So M; = = - Yo So Principle Ray: the ray from object to mirror that is parallel to the principle (optical) axis will reflect in a path that intersects the image focal point. Radius Ray: the ray from the object whose path is aligned curvature center point will reflect directly back to the center point on the principle (optical) axis. Central Ray: the ray from the object whose path is directed towards the center of the mirror (intersection with the principle axis) will reflect from the lens in the opposite direction with respect the optical path.
