Question
A person looks at his reflection in the concave side of a shiny spoon. Is it right side up or inverted? Does it matter how far his face is from the spoon? What if he looks in the convex side? (Try this yourself!)

- A student attempts to determine the focal length of a mirror through graphical analysis. They make a series of observations by changing the position of an object and measuring the position of the corresponding focused image. When they graph their data to create a linear relationship, they obtain the following graph.

- An inverted image of an object is viewed on a screen from the side facing a converging lens. An opaque card is then introduced covering only the upper half of the lens. What happens to the image on the screen? If any of these are the answer, what's the explanation (a) Half the image would disappear. (b) The entire image would appear and remain unchanged. (c) Half the image would disappear and be dimmer. (d) The entire image would appear but would be dimmerarrow_forwardAn object is placed in front of a convex mirror with radius of curvature = 18 cm. The object's height is 4.1 cm and it is initially 26 cm in front of the mirror. Find the (a) location and (b) height of the image. Next the object moves closer to the mirror, so the object distance is 3.4 cm. Again, find the (c) location and (d) height of the image. (e) What is the ratio of the image height when the object distance is 3.4 cm to that when the object distance is 26 cm?arrow_forward
