Question
A person fixes the hair on the back of his head, and holds a flat mirror 30 cm in front of his face, to look at himself in a flat mirror on the wall of his bathroom, which is behind him. If the bathroom mirror is 90 cm away, how far does it appear to be in front of the image of the back of your head?
a) 230 cm
b) 210 cm
c) 220 cm

- At time t = 0, a ball is dropped (starting from rest) from a height of 3 m. The ball falls freely (i.e. without air resistance) toward a concave spherical mirror that has been laid horizontally on the ground directly below the ball. The mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 1 m. a) Calculate the position of the ball's image at t = 0. b) Calculate the position of the ball's image at an arbitrary time t. In other words, calculate the image position as a function of time. c) Calculate the position of the ball's image at t = 0.5 s. d) As the ball falls downward, its image moves upward. At what time do the ball and its image first coincide?arrow_forwardA man standing 1.56 m in front of a shaving mirror produces an inverted image 15.0 cm in front of it.

- 1) A piece of thin spherical shell that has a radius of curvature of 145 cm is silvered on both sides. The concave side of the piece forms a real image 500 cm from the mirror. The piece is then turned around so that its convex side faces the object. The piece is moved so that the image is now 30 cm from the piece on the concave side.arrow_forwardSpherical Mirrors: An object is placed 50 cm in front of a concave mirror with a focal length of 25 cm.
