At a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 8.0 ft apart. You stand 3.6 ft from one mirror and face it. You see an infinite number of reflections of your front and back. (a) How far from you is the first "front" image? ft (b) How far from you is the first "back" image?

As shown in the figure, the angle between two plane mirrors (M1 and M2) is 125°. If the incident ray strikes mirror M1 with an angle of incidence ?1i = 67°, determine the angle of reflection ?2r for mirror M2.
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.
Two plane mirrors make an angle α = 54.0◦ between them. A ray of light incident on one of the mirrors is reflected and hits the second mirror. Find the angle β between the ray incident on the first mirror and the ray reflected off of the second mirror. (a) 36.0◦ (b) 72.0◦ (c) 54.0◦ (d) 24.0◦ (e) None of the above.
The spherical side mirror on a car is convex and has a radius of curvature of 23 cm. Another car is following, 2.2 m behind the mirror. If the height of the car is 1.15 m, how tall is its image?
Two identical plane mirrors A and B are aligned parallel to each other, as shown in the figure below. The length of each mirror is L = 10/3 m. A light ray is incident at an angle of 30° at a point just inside one end of mirror A. The number of times the ray undergoes reflections (including the first time) before it emerges out is: L Mirror-B 0.3 m Mirror-A 30° 100 45 50 90 25
You 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?
A 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 m
The place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors 5.0 m apart. As you sit in the chair, your head is 2.0 m from the nearer mirror. Looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (The mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.)How far away does the back of your head appear to be? Neglect the thickness of your head.

A convex mirror (diverging) has a focal length of magnitude f. An object is placed in front of this mirror at a point f from the face of the mirror. The image will appear 1/2 f from the mirror, virtual, upright, inverted and enlarged. O 3f from the mirror, real, upright, and enlarged 2 f from the mirror, virtual, inverted, and diminished at a distance of 2/5 f from the mirror, virtual, upright, and reduced. 5/2 f from the mirror, real, inverted, and enlarged.
