2. An object is located 60.0 cm to the left of a concave mirror (with R = 30 cm). a) What is the focal length for this mirror? Include the correct sign (positive or negative). b) Use the mirror equation to find the location of the image. State whether the image is real or virtual. c) Use the magnification equation to find the magnification of the image. State whether the image upright or inverted, and magnified or diminished.
