A small object is placed 15 cm from a diverging mirror with focal length -5 cm. Determine:

  1. The image distance $s'$.
  2. The magnification $m$.
  3. The kind of image (erect/inverted, real/virtual).

Draw a ray diagram for the arrangement using (and labelling!) the three standard rays covered in class to locate the image. It should at least approximately correspond to your numerical results above.
