Answers:

In convex mirrors the focus is virtual and the focal distance is negative. This is how the reflected rays diverge and only their extensions are cut at a point on the main axis, resulting in a virtual image of the real object .

a) Position of the soda bottle (the object)

The Mirror equation is:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}$ (1)

Where:

is the focal distance

is the distance between the object and the mirror

is the distance between the image and the mirror

We already know the values of and , let's find from (1):

$u=\frac{v.f}{v-f}$ (2)

Taking into account the explanation at the beginign of this asnswer:

f=-34cm and v=-18cm

The negative signs indicate the focal distance and the distance between the image and the mirror are virtual

Then:

$u=\frac{(-18cm)(-34cm)}{-18cm-(-34cm)}$

u=38.25cm (3) >>>>Position of the soda bottle

b) magnification of the image

The magnification of the image is given by:

$m=-\frac{v}{u}$ (4)

$m=-\frac{(-18cm)}{38.25cm}$

m=0.47 (5)>>>the image is 0.47 smaller than the object

The fact that this value is positive means the image is upright c) Describe the image

According to the explanations and results obtained in the prior answers, the correct option is 9:

The image is virtual, upright, smaller than the object d) Height of the soda bottle (object)

Another way to find the magnification is by the following formula:

$m=\frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}$ (6)

Where:

$h_{i}$ is the image height

$h_{o}$ is the object height

We already know the values of and $h_{i}$ , let's find $h_{o}$ :

$h_{o}=\frac{h_{i}}{m}$ (7)

$h_{o}=\frac{6.8cm}{0.47}$

$h_{o}=14.46cm$ (8) >>>height of thesoda bottle
