- hw help lastarrow_forwardYou are given a spherical mirror and wish to determine its properties. You place an object on its axis, 33.5 cm in front of it, and discover that the mirror creates a virtual image located 14.5 cm from the mirror. Determine the mirror's focal length / in centimeters. Calculate the mirror's radius of curvature C in centimeters. If it can be determined, is the mirror concave or convex? convex concave cannot be determined. cm cmarrow_forwardA person wishes to order a mirror for shaving or makeup.

Enter an expression for the distance between the image and the mirror. Part (b) Which statement best indicates the position of the image? Part (c) The object remains at a distance in front of the mirror which is twice the focal length, i.e. do=2F. If the positive height of the object is ho, enter an expression for the magnitude of the image height, |hi|. Your expression will contain the object height.
