A dentist uses a small mirror with radius of 40 mm to locate a cavity in a patients tooth. If the mirror is concave and is held 16 mm from the tooth, what is the magnification of the image?​

Answer:

The focal length of the mirror is f = R/2 = 20 mm.

The distance of the image could be calculated be the formula:

1/f = 1/d0 + 1/d1

Thus

-1/20 = -1/16 + 1/d1

d1 = 80 mm.

The magnification is m = -d1/d0 = 80/(-16) = 5
