- These variables are related by the following equation: (o= objects distance)
- ( i= image distance)
-
-
-
- Example:
- The image of an image is located at .5m from a converging mirror that has a radius of curvature of .25m. Find the position of the object.
-
- Substituting into equation 1 gives
-
-
-
-
- Since o is positive, the object is located .167m in front of the mirror.
- Magnification m describes the proportion of the distance of the image to the distance of the object:
