To find the diameter of the image of the Moon formed by a concave mirror, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Distance between Earth and Moon (object distance, \( u \)): \( 4 \times 10^8 \) m - Focal length of the concave mirror (\( f \)): \( -10 \) m (negative because it is a concave mirror) - Diameter of the Moon (object height, \( h_1 \)): \( 3500 \) km = \( 3.5 \times 10^6 \) m ### Step 2: Convert the object distance to a negative value ...
