When an object is located very far away from a convex mirror,
the image of the object is 12.0 cm behind the mirror. Using a ray
diagram drawn to scale, determine where the image is located when
the object is placed 6.0 cm in front of the mirror. Note that the
mirror must be drawn to scale also. In your drawing, assume that
the height of the object is 3.0 cm.
cm ---Select--- in front of behind the mirror

A 5.0-cm-high object is situated 16.0 cm in front of a concave
mirror that has a radius of curvature of 8.0 cm. Use a ray diagram
drawn to scale, measure the following. The mirror must be drawn to
scale.
(a) the image distance (include the sign)
cm ---Select--- in front of the mirror in back of the
mirror
(b) the height of the image
cm ---Select--- upright inverted
