An object is placed 25.0 cm from the surface of a convex mirror and an image is formed. The same object is placed 20.0 cm in front of a plane mirror and. again, an image is formed. Suppose in each ease the object is located at x = 0 and the mirrors lie along the positive x axis. If the images formed in the two mirrors lie at the same x coordinate, determine the radius of curvature of the convex mirror.
A dentist uses a spherical mirror to examine a tooth. The tooth is 1.00 cm in front of the mirror, and the image is formed 10.0 cm behind the mirror. Determine (a) the mirrors radius of curvature and (b) the magnification of the image.
A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 60.0 cm. Calculate the image position and magnification of an object placed in front of the mirror at distances of (a) 90.0 cm and (b) 20.0 cm. (c) Draw ray diagrams to obtain the image characteristics in each case.
A water fountain is at the center of a circular pool as shown in Figure P1.59. A student walks around the pool and measures its circumference C. Next, he stands at the edge of the pool and uses a protractor to measure the angle of elevation of his sightline to the top of the water jet. How high is the fountain?
