Homework Statement
so if the original object is 4.6 cm tall located at x = 0 and it's a concave mirror
distance from C to the object is 16 cm and Radius of the mirror is 12 cm
The Attempt at a Solution
to find the position of x image
i got 9.6 cm
then for magnification i got -.6 which is also equal to M = -di/do = Hi /Ho
so since the object is 4.6 tall the Hi is -2.76cm
so it's inverted? and it's real? since it's inside the mirror and the object
how can Hi be negative what does this mean if the di is negative it's virtural i think so the image is real
but should the height be in magnitude but what i got from the equation was -2.76cm
please explain
thank you
