You will begin with a relatively standard calculation. consider a concave spherical mirror with a radius of curvature equal to 60.0 centimeters. an object 6.00 centimeters tall is

We are given a concave spherical mirror with the following dimensions:

Radius = 60 cm; D o = 30 cm

Height = 6 cm; h o = 6 cm

First, we need to know the focal length, f, of the object (this should be given). Then we can use the following formulas for calculation:

Assume f = 10 cm

1 / f = 1 / d o + 1 / d i

1 / 10 = 1 / 30 + 1 / d i

d i = 15 cm

Then, calculate for h i:

h i / h o = - d i / d o

h i / 6 = - 15 / 30

h i = - 3 cm

Therefore, the distance of the object from the mirror is 3 centimeters. The negative sign means it is "inverted".
