Question: A thin, converging lens whose focal length is 80 cm is placed 5.0 m from a convex spherical mirror whose focal length is 50 cm

A thin, converging lens whose focal length is 80 cm is placed 5.0 m from a convex spherical mirror whose focal length is 50 cm (Fig. P24.99). For an object placed 1.0 m to the left of the lens, determine
(a) the location of the image formed by the mirror,
(b) the magnification of the image, and
(c) the nature of the image (real/virtual, upright/inverted, enlarged/reduced). Use the image formed by the lens as the object for the mirror.
