Find the focal length of the mirror

Reference no: EM13689826

Here is the question which I am struggling on, please help me!

Question: You will begin with a relatively standard calculation. Consider a concave spherical mirror with a radius of curvature equal to 60.0 centimeters. An object 6.00 centimeters tall is placed along the axis of the mirror, 45.0 centimeters from the mirror. You are to find the location and height of the image.

Part I: Focal length of the mirror?

f=__________cm

Part II: Find the image distance s'?

s'=_________cm

Part III: Find magnification m, using s and s'.

m=___________

Part IV: Use magnification to find the height of the image y'

y'=_________cm

Part V: Look at the signs of your answers to determine which of the following describes the image formed by this mirror:

-real and upright

-real and inverted

-virtual and upright

-virtual and inverted

Part VI: Solve the spherical mirror equation for s'

s'= __________

Show all work, use additional paper if necessary.
