Concave Mirrors Process

An inverted image is magnified by 2 when the object is placed 20 cm in front of a concave mirror. Determine the image distance and the focal length of the mirror.

A 5 cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 8 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 15 cm. Determine the image distance and the image size.

Example

Convex Mirror

A 4 cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 35 cm from a convex mirror having a focal length of - 12 cm. Determine the image distance and the image size.

An upright image is magnified by 1/5 when the object is placed 25 cm in front of a convex mirror. Determine the image distance and the focal length of the mirror.
