Both a converging lens and a concave mirror can produce

Chapter 23, Problem 3SL

(choose chapter or problem)

Both a converging lens and a concave mirror can produce virtual images that are larger than the object. Concave mirrors can be used as makeup mirrors, but converging lenses cannot be.

(a) Draw ray diagrams to explain why not.

(b) If a concave mirror has the same focal length as a converging lens, and an object is placed first at a distance of  \(\frac{1}{2} f\)  from the lens and then at a distance of \(\frac{1}{2} f\) from the mirror, how will the magnification of the object compare in the two cases?
