Problem

A shopper standing \( 3.00 \mathrm{~m} \) from a convex security mirror sees his image with a magnification of 0.200 . What is the mirror's radius of curvature?
a. \( 1.25 \mathrm{~m} \)
b. \( 1.50 \mathrm{~m} \)
c. \( 1.75 \mathrm{~m} \)
d. \( 2.00 \mathrm{~m} \)
e. \( 2.25 \mathrm{~m} \)

Answer

\(R = \frac{3.00}{2(0.200 - 1)} \)

Steps

Step 1 :\(M = \frac{d_i}{d_o} = \frac{R}{2R-d_o} \)

Step 2 :\(R = \frac{d_o}{2(M - 1)} \)

Step 3 :\(R = \frac{3.00}{2(0.200 - 1)} \)
