Figure P23.50
A. Considering only the light that leaves the object and travels first toward the mirror, locate the final image formed by this system.
B.What is the overall magnification of the image?
Homework Equations
1/p+ 1/q = 2/R and M=-q/p
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried the problem this way
1/12.5 +1/q = 2/20.4 so q=55.43 then I found M for the mirror 55.43/12.5 = 4.43
then I found q lens =25-55.43= -30.43 and M = -(-16.9/-30.43) = 0.56
So final image is 30.43-25= 5.43cm behind the mirror and M tot=4.43*0.56= 2.5
These are not the right answers though. Can anyone help?
