Problem

A spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of 40 cm40\,\text{cm}. Where should an object be placed so that a real image forms 30 cm30\,\text{cm} in front of the mirror? (Distances are measured from the mirror along the principal axis.) (a) so=12 cms_o = 12\,\text{cm} in front of the mirror (b) so=60 cms_o = 60\,\text{cm} in front of the mirror (c) so=50 cms_o = 50\,\text{cm} in front of the mirror (d) so=−120 cms_o = -120\,\text{cm} (behind the mirror)
