In separate experiments, an object is placed 12.0 cm in front of two different mirrors: a

flat mirror and a convex mirror. The image formed by the convex mirror is 4.0 cm closer
to the mirror than the image formed by the plane mirror. Determine the focal length of
the convex mirror

1 answer

so the image distance for the flat mirror is 12cm behind the mirror. That locates image distance for the convex mirror. Use the lens formula, watch signs on f.
