(c) Copyright PCSCC, Inc., 1993 Sign Convention: S[O] + means its left of vertex V focus + means concave S[I] + means its left of vertex V focus - means convex R + means center C is right of V *** Answer(s) to problem *** Variables are set to proper values at entry. Note, value of unknown should be set to 0.0. Enter any 2 of 3 knowns, program calculates missing (=0) one. Object distance is -5.96 cm, to right of V (b) Image is not inverted and minified by 0.29 times original height. ||A convex mirror (17 cm radius) casts the image of a bird on a screen 20 cm distant. (a) Where is the bird located and (b) what will it look like? Type comma key to see answer. Type (F2) to return to application file."
