optics, mirrors

A concave mirror has a focal length of 1m. What's the image's distance, and what does it look like, if the object is placed at 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1, 0.5 m in front of the mirror.

What about convex mirrors, and convex and concave lenses?

Answer: see tutorial video

Solver Input: f=1,i=?,o=2.5

optics, mirrors

An object is placed 1m in front of a mirror. The image is erect, and 1/3 the original size of the object. What is the radius of curvature of the mirror? What type of mirror is it?

Answer: r=-1m, it's a convex mirror

Solver Input: d_obj=1,erect_img,magnification=1/3,r=?

optics, lenses

A diverging lens has a focal length of 20cm. An object 10cm high is placed 20 cm in front of it. What is the height and distance of the image?

Answer: hi=-5cm, i=-10cm, negative bcz it's virtual
