Concept explainers
The image position and image height.
Answer to Problem 55A
The image position is 30 cm.
The height of the image is 1.8 cm.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The focal length of the concave mirror,
The height of the object,
The object distance from the mirror,
Formula used:
Mirror equation,
Where,
Also, the magnification is
Where,
Calculation:
Using the given values in mirror equation, the image distance will be,
Then, the image height will be,
Negative sign denotes inverted image.
Conclusion:
Hence, the image position is
