150 words of calculation and explanation along with references on how to figure out the distance you are from a mirror based on its curvature.
Solution Preview
In spherical mirrors, the focal length is simply half the radius of curvature.
In our case, the focal length of the mirror is:
f = R/2 = 10cm
The magnification is given by:
M=di/do
1/M = do/di
Where di is teh image distance from ...
