Homework Statement
A 1.80-cm-high object is situated 19.7 cm in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature of 12.2 cm. Calculate (a) the location and (b) the height of the image.
Homework Equations
f=1/2R
1/image distance + 1/object distance = 1/f
The Attempt at a Solution
f=1/2(12.2) = 11.1
1/image distance + 1/19.7 = 1/6.1
image distance = 8.836 cm
then I thought to find the image height I'd just take 8.836 cm - 1.8 cm = 7.036 cm but this is incorrect.
