Question
an object is placed in front of a concave spherical mirror as shown in the figure. Rays 1, 2, and 3 leave the top of the object and, after reflection, converge at a point on top of the image. Ray 1 is parallel to the principal axis, ray 2 passes through F, and ray 3 passes through C. (a)Which will pass through F after reflection? (b)which will reflect back from the mirror surface? (c)which of the following best describes the image that will be formed by the mirror?

- Consider the following questions regarding plane mirrors. (i.) Is the image formed by a plane mirror real or virtual? How do you know? (ii.) Is the image formed by a plane mirror upright or inverted? How do you know? (iii.) What is the lateral magnification associated with a plane mirror? (iv.) What is true when an object is moved farther from a plane mirror? (i.e. What does/doesn’t happen to the image height and image distance?)arrow_forwardA physicist places two plane mirrors at an angle of ?1 = 55.5° to each other, as shown below. She then directs a horizontal laser beam toward Mirror 1. The beam reflects twice: first off Mirror 1, then Mirror 2. What angle ?2 will the outgoing beam make with the surface of Mirror 2? (Enter your answer in in degrees.)arrow_forwardThe figure shows a star shaped object in front of a concave mirror. One light ray from the top of the star moves parallel to the principle axis (small-dotted line) and is reflected as shown in the direction indicated by the arrows. Four spots, (a), (b), (c), and (d), are marked along the principle axis. There is equal spacing between the object, the dots, and the mirror. Approximately where is the image of this star located? ... (a) (b) (c) (d) A between (b) and (c) between (a) and (b) between the mirror and (d) to the right of (d) 6.arrow_forward
- A convex mirror (diverging) has a focal length of magnitude f. An object is placed in front of this 2 mirror at a point f from the face of the mirror. The image will appear at a distance of 2/5 f from the mirror, virtual, upright and reduced. O2 f from the mirror, virtual, inverted, and diminished O 1/2 f from the mirror, virtual, upright, inverted and enlarged. O 5/2 f from the mirror, real, inverted, and enlarged. 3f from the mirror, real, upright, and enlargedarrow_forwardYou are given a circular plane mirror of diameter 6.0 cm. Consider, by drawing, the field of view (in image space) for a point P located on the axis at a distance 10.0 cm to the left of the mirror. What is the half field angle?arrow_forwardA room in an amusement park funhouse has two flat mirrors on opposite walls, so that a person standing between the mirrors sees a "never-ending" series of reflections. A person stands 2.40 m from the mirror on the left wall and 5.50 m from the mirror on the right wall. What are the distances (in m), as measured from the person, for the first three images seen by the person in the left wall mirror? first image second image third image 2.40 X This is the image distance from the left mirror. Add this to the distance from the person to the mirror to get the total distance from the person to the image. m m marrow_forward
- An object is placed in front of a concave spherical mirror as shown below. The three rays 1, 2, and 3, leave the top of the object and, after reflection, converge at a point on the top of the image. Ray 1 is parallel to the principal axis, ray 2 passes through F, and ray 3 passes through C.arrow_forwardTwo light rays originate from object A, at a distance of 50 cm in front of a flat mirror, diverging at an angle of 10°. Both of the rays strike a flat mirror and reflect. Two light rays originate from object B, at a distance of 50 cm in front of a convex mirror, diverging at an angle of 10°. Both of the rays strike the convex mirror and reflect. For which object do the reflected rays appear to converge behind the mirror closer to the surface of the mirror, thus forming a closer (larger) image? Explain with the help of a sketch or diagram.arrow_forwardA man stands in front of a mirror as shown in the figure below. His eyes are 1.78 m above the floor, and the top of his head is 0.13 m higher. Find the height above the floor of the top and bottom of the smallest mirror in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. top m bottom m How is the distance d from the top to the bottom of the mirror related to the man's height h? d =arrow_forward
