Question

Consider a concave mirror with a focal length
of 14.98 cm.
a) Find the image distance when the object
distance is 14.98 cm

The image is at infinity in that case.

Why is it infinity?
drwls
Because the optics rule is:
1/do + 1/di = 1/f

Since do = f, the focal length,
1/di = 0

That can only happen if the image distance di is infinity.
