4. Mario conducted an experiment using a concave mirror. He used a 20 cm pencil and placed it in 10 cm away from
the mirror. However, he can’t find the image’s orientation and its type. As a close friend of Mario, you are tasked
to help him.
What problem solving steps would you suggest for him to follow so that he can solve the problem
independently?

7. Gino and Reny found a concave lens with a focal point of 5 cm inside an old box. Gino and Reny argued of what
is its center of curvature.

Gino: The center of curvature is twice as the focal length so the C is equals to 10 cm

Reny: The center of curvature is the same as the size of the focal length which is 5 cm

1.1. Who do you think have the right answer?

o Gino
o Reny
