- Which one of the following statements concerning a convex mirror is true? A convex mirror must be spherical in shape. The image a convex mirror produces is closer to the mirror than it would be in a plane mirror for the same object distance. A convex mirror produces a larger image than a plane mirror does for the same object distance. A convex mirror can form a real image.arrow_forward9. An object is placed 60 cm in front of a concave mirror with focal length of 12 cm. Where is the image located?arrow_forwardA dentist uses a concave mirror to send light into his patients’ mouths. If a parallel beam of light supplied by a lamp is to be concentrated at a distance 2.5 cm from the mirror, what should be the radius of curvature? Group of answer choices 2.5 cm 5.0 cm (1/ 2.5) cm 1.25 cmarrow_forward
- What does the image of an object look like through a convex lens when the object is further from the lens than the focal point? It looks the same as the actual object. It is upside down and smaller than the object. It is upside down and larger than the object. It is right side up and larger than the object.arrow_forwardA concave makeup mirror is designed so that a person 21 cm in front of it sees an upright image magnified by a factor of two. What is the radius of curvature of the mirror? R = marrow_forwardA full-length mirror is one in which you can see all of yourself. It need not be as big as you, and its size is independent of your distance from it.
