A candle is 49 cm in front of a convex spherical mirror that has a focal length
of 35 cm. What are the image distance and magnification? Is the image
virtual or real? Is the image inverted or upright? Draw a ray diagram to
confirm your results.

Sagot :

The convex spherical mirror is the diverging mirror. The image distance is 20.4 cm. The magnification is 0.417. The image is virtual and upright.

What is magnification?

Magnification is the ratio of image distance to the object distance.

Object distance is 49 cm and the focal length of convex mirror is 35 cm, then image distance is calculated by the lens maker formula.

1/f = 1/v +1/u

1/-35 = 1`/v +1/49

v= -20.4 cm

Thus, the image distance is 20.4 cm.

The magnification is given by

m = v/u

m = -20.4 / 49

m = 0.417

Thus, the magnification is 0.417.

The image formed is by virtual meeting of light rays and above the principle axis. Thus the image is virtual and upright.
