Question
The equation connecting s, p, and f for a simple lens can be employed for spherical mirrors, too. A concave mirror with a focal length of
5 cm
forms an image of a small object placed
15 cm
in front of the mirror. Where will this image be located? (For spherical mirrors, positive p means the image is on the same side of the mirror as the object.)
