Problem

A concave mirror produces a real image that is twice the height of the object. The image forms 50 cm50\,\text{cm} in front of the mirror along the principal axis. What is the focal length of the mirror? (a) f=−16.7 cmf = -16.7\,\text{cm} (b) f=+25 cmf = +25\,\text{cm} (c) f=+16.7 cmf = +16.7\,\text{cm} (d) f=+33.3 cmf = +33.3\,\text{cm}
