<TO-DETERMINE>

The location and magnification of the image.

</TO-DETERMINE>

<ANSWER>

The location of the image is 48.0 cm from mirror with the magnification of 4.0 .

</ANSWER>

<EXPLANATION>

Write the equation for the mirror.

1 1 1
 
f d0 di
1 1 1
  (I)
di f d0
Here f is the focal length of the mirror, d 0 is the distance of object from the mirror and d i is
the distance of image from the mirror.

Write the equation for the focal length of the mirror.

R
f  (II)
2
Here R is the radius of the mirror.

Write the equation for magnification produced by the mirror and find d i .
d
M  i (III)
d0
Here M is the magnification of the image.

Conclusion:

Substitute 32.0 cm for R in equation (II) to find f .

 32.0 cm
f 
2
 16.0 cm

Substitute 16.0 cm for f and 12.0 cm for d 0 in equation (I) to find d i .

1 1 1
 
di 16.0 cm 12.0 cm


12.0 cm  16.0 cm 
16.0 cm  12.0 cm 
4.0 cm

16.0 cm  12.0 cm 
di  48.0 cm
Here negative sign of distance indicate that the image formed will be virtual.

Substitute 48.0 cm for d i and 12.0 cm for d 0 in equation (III) to find M .

48.0 cm
M 
12.0 cm
 4.0
Here magnification is positive so the image will be upright.

Therefore, the location of the image is 48.0 cm from mirror with the magnification of 4.0 .

<TO-DETERMINE>

A ray diagram for showing the locations of the object and image.

</TO-DETERMINE>

<ANSWER>

Ray diagram of the object and the image location is shown in figure 1 using three rays.
 Figure 1

</ANSWER>

<EXPLANATION>

Ray 1 will pass from the top of the object through the vertex of the mirror and reflected opposite
to the object position.
Ray 2 will pass from the bottom of the object and reflected back from the mirror on itself.
Ray 3 will pass from the top of the object, which is parallel to the principle axis and reflected
through the mirror from the focal point.
The image formed will be virtual and upright.

Therefore, the ray diagram of the object and the image location is shown in figure 2 using three
rays.
