Please see the attached file for complete question.
A light ray travels through a distance a, reflects from a curved mirror, and then travels through a distance b. The ABCD matrix has the form as given in the attachment.
Suppose that the initial ray is one of many which leaves a point on an object positioned at do = a before the mirror.
a) What condition is needed to form an image at distance di = b?
b) What is the magnification?

{Equation (I)}
As is well known, it is possible to form an image with a concave mirror. Suppose that the initial ray is one of many which leaves a point on an object positioned at do = a before the mirror. In order for an ...
