    How Do You Find the Object Position for an Upright Image in a Concave Mirror?

    Thanks but I'm not sure how to apporach the second part of the question... "Construct a ray diagram for this situation."

    How Do You Find the Object Position for an Upright Image in a Concave Mirror?

    Haha, I wasn't going to spend hours on that system of equations. Thank God for Wolfram Alpha! solved it in 1 second http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%281%2Fx%29%2B%281%2Fy%29%3D%281%2F40%29%2C+%28%28-y%29%2Fx%29%3D4so x=30 and y=-120 nice :)

    How Do You Find the Object Position for an Upright Image in a Concave Mirror?

    Oh! Maybe, do I set up a system of equations? Just tried that----- came up with nothing...

    How Do You Find the Object Position for an Upright Image in a Concave Mirror?

    Well I'm attempting to first fill in the equations that I have with as much data as possible. Also, I forgot to add in another equation. m= -di/do So I now have (1/do)+(1/di)= 1/40 and since the magnification is 4x ("four times the size of the object") I have 4= -di/do what now?

    How Do You Find the Object Position for an Upright Image in a Concave Mirror?

    So I originally posted a thread for my optics homework listing every question from a worksheet AND my attempts. Apparently, it's seen as spam so I have tried and am now posting the second question. Homework Statement A concave mirror has a focal length of 40 cm. Determine the object...

    Calculating Wavelength in Young's Interference Experiment

    Oh I just needed to make sure. So yn(subscript), whatever is in the subscript is just n?

    Calculating Wavelength in Young's Interference Experiment

    So I got a warning for just posting questions so I'll do as best as I can to try and put effort lol Homework Statement A Young's interference experiment is performed with monochromatic light. The separation between the slits, d, is .50 mm, and the interference pattern on a screen L =...
