Question
An orthodontist wishes to inspect a patient's tooth with a magnifying mirror. He places the mirror 0.750 cm behind the tooth. This results in an upright, virtual image of the tooth that is 15.0 cm behind the mirror.

cm
(b)What magnification describes the image described in this passage?

- A transparent photographic slide is placed in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 2.20 cm. An image of the slide is formed 14.5 cm from the slide. (a) How far is the lens from the slide if the image is real? (b) How far is the lens from the slide if the image is virtual? Step 1 (a) The real image case is shown in the ray diagram. or Object 1 Figure 1 + P 14.5 cm P Notice that here p + q = 14.5 cm, or q = 14.5 cm - p. The thin-lens equation, with focal length f = 2.20 cm, gives 1 - p² (14.5 cm)p+ p+q = F Description Image | cm² = 0. Using the quadratic formula to solve the above equation gives two solutions. The smaller solution is p= cm and the larger solution is p = cm cm. Both are valid solutions for the real image case.arrow_forwardA convex mirror has a focal length of -21 cm.
