Question
An object 1.7 cm high is held 3 cm from a person's cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be
0.157 cm high.
Think & Prepare:
1. What kind of mirror is the cornea, convex or concave?
2. What kind of mirror causes magnification?
3. What kind of image is it?
4. What signs will the different quantities have?
(a) Set-up the table for some known quantities.
i) Make sure to use the correct sign for the image distances, object distances, and the focal
lengths.
ii) Make sure to use the correct sign for the image and object heights. Inverted object and image
heights are negative.
