Answer:
1.Theimage will be located at -0.13m or -13 cm
2.The height of the image will be 0.052m or 5.2cm
Explanation:
Given that;
Height of object, h=20 cm = 0.2m
Object distance in front of convex mirror, o,= 50 cm =0.5m
Radius of curvature, r, =34 cm =0.34m
Let;
Image distance, i,=?
Image height, h'=?
You know that focal length,f, is half the radius of curvature,hence
f=r/2 = 0.34/2 = 0.17m ( this length is inside the mirror, in a virtual side, thus its is negative)
f= -0.17m
Apply the relationship that involves the focal length;
Re-arrange to get i
This is a virtual image formed at a negative distance produced through extension of drawing rays behind the mirror if you use rays to locate the image behind the mirror
Apply the magnification formula
magnification, m=height of image÷height of object
substitute the values to get the height of image h'
