- Most side mirrors on cars have the warning "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear." This is because the mirror is not a plane mirror (it is not completely flat). It is a convex mirror. You reason that your particular mirror has a focal length of f = -12 m. The image of a cyclist in the mirror appears to be a distance of 3.1 m away from the mirror. (a) Do convex mirrors form real images or virtual images? virtual ✓ (b) How far away from the mirror is the cyclist? (find the object distance). Think about the sign of the image distance (is it real or virtual?). m (c) What is the magnification of the cyclist? Pay attention to the sign of your answer (+).

- IP A magician wishes to create the illusion of a 2.66- m-tall elephant. He plans to do this by forming a virtual image of a 46.0-cm-tall model elephant with the help of a spherical mirror. You may want to review (Pages 923 - 928). If the model must be placed 2.65 m from the mirror, what radius of curvature is needed? R= -4.52 1Π ΑΣΦ 4 Submit Previous Answers Request Answer Part C * Incorrect; Try Again; 2 attempts remaining How far from the mirror will the image be formed? di 15.3 m Submit ? Previous Answers m Review ✓ Correct Here we learn how to determine the distance from the mirror to the image. The image distance is negative, thus, the image is behind the mirror.arrow_forwardA convex mirror with a radius of curvature of -30.0 cm is used to form an image of an arrow that is 13.6 cm away from the mirror. If the arrow is 2.10 cm tall and inverted (pointing below the optical axis), what is the height of the arrow's image? (Include the sign of the value in your answer.) cmarrow_forwardA spherical mirror is to be used to form an image, four times as tall as an object, on a screen positioned 4.4 m from the mirror. (a) Describe the type of mirror required. The mirror is a ---Mirror Type--- mirror and it has a focal length of ---Mirror Type--- (b) Where should the m The object shou concave convex ct? rror. m.arrow_forward

The focal length of the lens is 16.5 cm, and the focal length of the mirror is 23.5 17. cm. The distance between the lens and the mirror is 37.0 cm. What is the distance of the final image in reference to the mirror? a) -3.35 cm b) 34.1 cm c) 3.35 cm d) 2.61 cm e) 2.94 cmarrow_forwardA spherical mirror forms a magnified (m>1) and upright image of an object.
