An object is placed in front of a convex mirror. Draw the convex mirror (radius of curvature

Question:

An object is placed in front of a convex mirror. Draw the convex mirror (radius of curvature = 15 cm) to scale, and place the object 25 cm in front of it. Make the object height 4 cm. Using a ray diagram, locate the image and measure its height. Now move the object closer to the mirror, so the object distance is 5 cm. Again, locate its image using a ray diagram. As the object moves closer to the mirror,
(a) Does the magnitude of the image distance become larger or smaller, and
(b) Does the magnitude of the image height become larger or smaller?
(c) What is the ratio of the image height when the object distance is 5 cm to its height when the object distance is 25 cm? Give your answer to one significant figure.
