(Solved)
In an experiment to determine the focal length of a concave mirror, magnification M was determined for various image distance V. The figure below shows a graph of magnification M against image distance V for the results from the experiment.
Use the graph to determine:
i) The focal length ,f of the mirror, given that M= 1 - v/f
ii) The image distance when the magnification is 0.6.
