Solving Equations A candle is placed 6 cm in front of a convex mirror with focal length f=-3 cm. Determine the image location. Determine the magnification of the candle. If the candle is 9 cm tall, how tall does the image candle appear to be? m = + 1/3 h i = + 3 cm Image is Upright! d i = - 2 cm (behind mirror) Virtual Image! Diverging mirror!
