Answer

(a) $4.2cm$ (b) $11cm$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $\frac{1}{d_i}=-\frac{4}{D}-\frac{1}{d_{\circ}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{1}{d_i}=-\frac{4}{0.18m}-\frac{1}{0.66m}$ This simplifies to: $d_i=-0.042m=-4.2cm$ The imaged will be formed behind the globe. (b) We can find the required height of the image as follows: $h_i=(-\frac{d_i}{d_{\circ}})h_{\circ}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $h_i=[-\frac{(-0.042m)}{0.66m}](1.7m)$ $h_i=0.1081m=11cm$
