6) An object 1.50 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image ismeasured to be 0.167 cm high. You can model the cornea as a convex spherical mirror.a. What is the magnification? b. How far is the image from the cornea, and does the image appear in front of the cornea or behind it? c. Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea. d. Draw a principal ray diagram for this situation, using the given object height and the focal length of the mirror that you found while answering part c. Be sure each diagram contains the three principal rays discussed in class. You do not need to use a ruler, protractor, or graph paper, but make a reasonable attempt to draw the diagram to scale by eye.
