- In many cars the passenger’s side mirror says: “Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.” A) Does this mirror form real or virtual images? B) Is the mirror concave or convex?arrow_forwardA lens produces an upright virtual image between the lens and the focal length of the lens, on the same side of the lens as where the object is located, when the object is outside the focal length of the lens. The focal length of the lens is 15cm and the image is 0.3 times the size of the object. a) Determine the type of lens. b) Determine the distance of the object from the lens. c) Determine the distance of the image from the lensarrow_forwardConsider a spherical concave mirror. An object is located to the left ofthe mirror, beyond the focal point. As the object moves toward the focal point,the image of the objecta) moves to the left.b) moves to the right.c) remains in the same place, but changes height.d) none of the abovearrow_forward
- 10. When you look in a plane mirror, what is true? * The image is real. The image is reversed. The image is closer to the mirror than you are. The image is farther away from the mirror than you are. Larrow_forward8 a) The diagram shows two light rays that form an intermediate image by the objective lens an optical compound microscope. These rays are incident on the eyepiece lens. The focal points of the two lenses are marked. not to eyepiece lens scale objective lens to Draw rays on the diagram to show the formation of the final image. b) The object is viewed when the microscope is in normal adjustment. State what is meant by normal adjustment when applied to a compound microscope. c) The object O is placed at a distance of 24.0 mm from the objective lens and the final image is formed at a distance 240 mm from the eyepiece lens. The focal length of the objective lens is 20.0 mm and that of the eyepiece lens is 60.0 mm. The near point of the observer is at a distance of 240 mm from the eyepiece lens. Calculate the distance between the lenses.arrow_forwardIdentify the type of mirror that best matched the description given. When light rays reflect off 1.
