Problem #1. Determine the image distance and image height for a 4 cm
tall object placed 8 cm from a mirror having focal length of 12 cm.
Problem #2: A mirror has a focal length of -8.8 cm. An object which is
7cm tall is placed 30.00 cm from the mirror’s surface. Determine the
image distance and image height.
4. Refer to summary form Table 1, determine what kind of curved mirror was used for each
problem and describe the image formed.
