Question

Transcribed Image Text:An orthodontist wishes to inspect a patient's tooth with a magnifying mirror. She places the mirror 1.00 cm behind the tooth. This
results in an upright, virtual image of the tooth that is 9.00 cm behind the mirror.
(a) What is the mirror's radius of curvature (in cm)?
cm
(b) What magnification describes the image described in this passage?

- A car is traveling at 22.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, giving the car a constant deceleration. The car comes to a stop in a distance of 120.0 m. How fast was the car moving when it was 30.0 m past the point where the brakes were applied?

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_forwardAn object is placed to the left of a lens, and a real image is formed to the right of the lens. The image is inverted relative to the object and is one-half the size of the object. The distance between the object and the image is 73.0 cm. (a) How far from the lens is the object? (b) What is the focal length of the lens? (a) do = (b) f=arrow_forward
- Spherical mirrors. Object O stands on the central axis of a spherical mirror. For this situation object distance is ps = +21 centimeters, the type of mirror is convex, and then the distance between the focal point and the mirror is 14 cm (without proper sign). Find (a) the radius of curvature r (including sign), (b) the image distance i, and (c) the lateral magnification m. Also, determine whether the image is (d) real or virtual, (e) inverted from object O or noninverted, and (f) on the same side of the mirror as O or on the opposite side.arrow_forwardA doctor examines a mole with a 15.5 cm focal length magnifying glass held 11.5 cm from the mole.
