An object is five focal lengths from a concave mirror. how do the object and image heights compare?

An object distance is presented as s = 5f and we know that the mirror equation relates the image distance to the object distance and the focal length.

The mirror equation is 1/f = 1/s + 1/s’ where the variable f stands for the focal length of the mirror. Variable (s) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the object and the variable (s’) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the image.

In addition, a concave mirror will have a positive focal length (f) and a convex mirror will have a negative focal length (f).

Now, we then have 1/f = 1/5f + 1/s’ which is s’ = 5f/4

Then we get the magnification ratio that expresses the size or amount of magnification or reduction of the object or image and to get the magnification, we use this equation: M= s’/s

M= 5f/4x5f

s’ = 1/4s

Therefore, the image height is one fourth of the object height

overcharge is the right answer system
