Problem

Three identical objects are placed on the principal axis of the same concave mirror at distances 0.5f0.5f, 1.5f1.5f, and 3f3f from the mirror, where ff is the focal length. Rank the magnitudes of the image heights ∣hi∣|h_i| produced by the mirror from greatest to least. (a) 1.5f>0.5f>3f1.5f > 0.5f > 3f (b) 3f>1.5f>0.5f3f > 1.5f > 0.5f (c) 0.5f=1.5f>3f0.5f = 1.5f > 3f (d) 0.5f>1.5f>3f0.5f > 1.5f > 3f
