Homework Statement
Derive the mirror equation for a convex mirror (Si*So=f^2). Do not use a Ray heading toward the center of curvature point (C).
Si - distance between the object's image and the focal point.
So- distance between the object and the focal point.
Do- distance between the mirror and object.
Di- distance between the mirror and the object's image.
f- focal length
Homework Equations
1/do + 1/di = 1/f
The Attempt at a Solution
My work is all on the picture. I am trying to get to the equation SoSi=f^2 but I don't get the right equation so I am wondering if I made a mistake in my diagram?
