|Jun20-12, 12:27 PM||#1| Confused about image size in plane,
concave, or convex mirrors So I know these equations 1/f = 1/p +
1/i m = -i/p f: focal length p: object distance from mirror i:
image distance from mirror Let's say that I have an object in
front of a concave or convex mirror with the same |f|. p is much
larger than the radius of curvature. Based on the equations
above, |m|<1. Also, |m| should be nearly same for both mirrors.
Does this mean that the images produced by the two mirrors would
appear to be about the same size? Also, if I replace the concave
or convex mirror with a plane mirror (while keeping p the same),
|m| would be 1 for the image. Does this mean that the image
produced by the plane mirror would appear to be larger than the
image produced by the concave/convex mirrors? (I tried to check
this using a spoon, but the spoons I have are not very
reflective...) |Jun20-12, 02:56 PM||#2| Yes to all. |Similar
