- A real object is placed at the zero end of a meterstick. A large concave mirror at the 100.0 cm end of the meterstick forms an image of the object at the 71.9 cm position. A small convex mirror placed at the 20.0 cm position forms a final image at the 11.5 cm point. What is the radius of curvature of the convex mirror? (Hint: The first image created by the concave mirror acts as an object for the convex mirror.)arrow_forwardAn object that is 33 cm in front of a convex mirror has an image located 18 cm behind the mirror. How far behind the mirror is the image located when the object is 24 cm in front of the mirror?
