- A concave mirror (f1 = 6.00 cm) and a convex mirror (f2 = −9.00 cm) are facing each other and are separated by a distance of 30.0 cm. An object is placed halfway between the mirrors. Consider the light from the object to reflect first from the concave mirror and then from the convex mirror. a) What is the distance of the first image (di1) that is produced by the concave mirror? b) What is the magnification (m1)? c) Find the distance of the object for the convex mirror (do2)? d) What is the distance of the final image (di2) produced by the combination of the two mirrors? e) What is the magnification (m2)? f) What is the overall magnification (m)? g) Describe the final image formed by the combination of the two mirrors.arrow_forwardA tall tree is growing across a river from you. You would like to know the distance between yourself and the tree,as well as its height, but are unable to make the measurements directly. However, by using a mirror to form an image of the tree and then measuring the image distance and the image height, you can calculate the distance to the tree as well as its height. Suppose that this mirror produces an image of the sun, and the image is located 0.8646 m from the mirror. The same mirror is then used to produce an image of the tree. The image of the tree is 0.9468 m from the mirror. (a) How far away is the tree? (b) The image height of the tree has a magnitude of 0.15 m. How tall is the tree?arrow_forwardAn object (height = 5.0 cm) and its image are on opposite sides of a converging lens. The object is located 11.0 cm from the lens. The image is located 5.3 cm from the lens. Determine the image height (in cm). Enter the numerical part of your answer to two significant figures. Hint: Remember that the sign of the image height is significant.arrow_forward
