- 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 man is standing in front of a plane mirror. What is the minimum mirror height to see his full image? Explain your answer.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
- A 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 0.8278 m from the mirror. The same mirror is then used to produce an image of the tree. The image of the tree is 0.9219 m from the mirror. (a) How far away is the tree? (b) The image height of the tree has a magnitude of 0.13 m. How tall is the tree? (a) do = (b) ho= i iarrow_forwardAn object is placed a distance do = 18.0 cm in front of a convex (negative) mirror with a focal length f= -9.0 cm. What is the image distance for the image formed by this mirror? d₁ = What is the magnification for this image? m= cm Is the image upright or inverted? O no image is formed O inverted O upright Is the image real or virtual? O real O virtual O no image is formed doarrow_forwardA converging mirror has a focal length of x. An object, represented by the arrow, is placed at point B, as seen in the figure here. A B C D E x The image location is best described as O (A) left of point A. O (B) between points A and B. O (C) between points D and E. O (D) no image is formed the mirror causes parallel rays. xarrow_forward
