    Mirror Reflection object-image relationships
    For a concave mirror, R is the distance from the vertex to the center of curvature, F is the distance from the vertex to the focal point, p is the distance to the object, q is the distance to the image, h is the height of the object, and h' is the distance to the image. Fill in the blanks with the symbols <,> or =.

    1. If p > q then h ____ h'.
    2. If f < p < R then q _____ R.
    3. If p = R, then q ____ R.
    4. If h = h', then p ____ q.
    5. If p > R, then q ____ R.

    I missed the class when the teacher taught us this, but I'll give it a shot...
    1. >
    2. not sure
    3. =
    4. =
    5. not sure... <?

    Oh, h' should be height of the image, not distance to the image...
