To determine the diameter of the image formed by a spherical concave mirror of focal length 8 m, we will use the following steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Focal length of the concave mirror (f) = -8 m (the negative sign indicates that it is a concave mirror) - Diameter of the moon (D) = 3450 km = 3.45 × 10^6 m (convert km to m) - Distance between the Earth and the moon (L) = 4 × 10^5 km = 4 × 10^8 m (convert km to m) ### Step 2: Calculate the angle subtended by the moon at the mirror ...
