a) 30.0 cm

For any mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length:

r = 2f

where

r is the radius of curvature

f is the focal length

For the mirror in this problem, we have

r = 60.0 cm is the radius of curvature

Therefore, solving the equation above for f, we find its focal length:

[tex]f=\frac{r}{2}=\frac{60.0 cm}{2}=30.0 cm[/tex]

b) 90 cm

The mirror equation is:

[tex]\frac{1}{s'}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{s}[/tex]

where

s' is the distance of the image from the mirror

f is the focal length

s is the distance of the object from the mirror

For the situation in the problem, we have

f = +30.0 cm is the focal length (positive for a concave mirror)

s = 45.0 cm is the object distance from the mirror

Solving the formula for s', we find

[tex]\frac{1}{s'}=\frac{1}{30.0 cm}-\frac{1}{45.0 cm}=0.011 cm^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]s'=\frac{1}{0.011 cm^{-1}}=90 cm[/tex]

c) -2

The magnification of the mirror is given by

[tex]M=-\frac{s'}{s}[/tex]

where in this problem we have

s' = 90 cm is the image distance

s = 45.0 cm is the object distance

Solving the equation, we find:

[tex]M=-\frac{90 cm}{45 cm}=-2[/tex]

So, the magnification is -2.

d) -12.0 cm

The magnification can also be rewritten as

[tex]M=\frac{y'}{y}[/tex]

where

y' is the height of the image

y is the heigth of the object

In this problem, we know

y = 6.0 cm is the height of the object

M = -2 is the magnification

Solving the equation for y', we find

[tex]y'=My=(-2)(6.0 cm)=-12.0 cm[/tex]

and the negative sign means that the image is inverted.

Part e and f are exactly identical as part b) and c).

The focal length Image for this mirror is 30.0 cm.

The object distance from the mirror is 90 cm.

The magnification of the mirror is -2.

The height of the image is -12cm.



Calculations and Parameters:

For any mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length:

r = 2f

Where

  • r is the radius of curvature
  • f is the focal length

r = 60.0 cm is the radius of curvature

Therefore, solving the equation above for f, we find its focal length:

60/2

= 30cm.

The mirror equation is

1/s'

Where:

  • s' is the distance of the image from the mirror
  • f is the focal length
  • s is the distance of the object from the mirror
  • f = +30.0 cm is the focal length (positive for a concave mirror)
  • s = 45.0 cm is the object distance from the mirror

s'= 1/0.011cm^-1

= 90cm.

The magnification of the mirror is given by

M=y'/y

Where:

  • y' is the height of the image
  • y is the height of the object

  • y = 6.0 cm is the height of the object
  • M = -2 is the magnification

Solving the equation for y', we find

y'= My

= (-2)(6)

= -12cm.
