PRACTICE / Spherical mirrors

Locate a real mirror image

A paraxial object is 30 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm. Use positive distances for a real object and a real image.

Find the real image distance in front of the mirror.

Organize the givens & assumptions
  • do = 0.30 m
  • f = 0.10 m

Paraxial concave mirror; use positive distances for this real object and real image; neglect aberrations.
