Question
Consider a 2.5-cm tall candle positioned 7.5 cm in front of a concave spherical mirror with a radius of 30 cm. Determine and explain the characteristics of the resulting image. Please create a scaled ray diagram to aid in your explanation. Also, calculate the longitudinal magnification of the candle's image.
