- The radius of the curvature for a converging mirror is 36 cm. What is its focal length, in cm? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardEach of the parts in this problem has a description of an object and an optical device (a lens or a mirror). A sketch of each part is shown below in which the centers of the mirrors and the focal points of the lenses are shown. The radius of curvature of each mirror is R, and the focal length of the lenses is f. For each part, determine: the image is real, virtual, or no image is formed the image is on the same side of the optical device as the object or the opposite side (if there is no image, indicate this) if at image is formed, on which side of the optical device must the observer be in order to see it A. An object is on the right side of a spherical mirror, a distance s > R from the mirror.

- A spherical mirror is polished on both sides. When the concave side is used as a mirror, the magnification is +2.6. What is the magnification when the convex side is used as a mirror, the object remaining the same distance from the mirror? If the object is inverted, then enter a negative number. Otherwise, enter a positive number. Number i Units >arrow_forwardThe virtual image produced by a convex mirror is one-third the size of the object.
