To determine the diameter of the image formed by a spherical concave mirror of focal length 8 m, given the diameter of the moon and its distance from the Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Focal length of the concave mirror, \( f = -8 \) m (negative because it is a concave mirror). - Diameter of the moon, \( D_{moon} = 3450 \) km = \( 3.45 \times 10^6 \) m. - Distance from the Earth to the moon, \( u = -4 \times 10^5 \) km = \( -4 \times 10^8 \) m. ### Step 2: Use the mirror formula ...
