- can you help me finding the answer for this question please thank youarrow_forwardWhen considering the location of images formed by lenses, we often like to employ ray tracing diagrams. To do this we draw three rays of light and see where they intersect. 1. A ray parallel to the axis refracts through the far focal point. 2. A ray that enters the lens along a line through the near focal point emerges parallel to the axis. 3. A ray through the center of the lens does not bend. This method was shown to you in class for the following situation: An object and converging lenses with the distance to the object being greater than the focal length, do > f. object focal point do focal point Now you will complete the ray tracing diagram for an object that is closer than the focal length: de focal point image Answer the following based on your ray tracing: (a) Is the image real or virtual? (b) is the image larger or smaller than the object? focal pointarrow_forwardQuestion 7 Use ray tracing to determine the location of the image of this concave mirror (aka converging mirror). Indicate whether the image will be... i) real or virtual. ii) upright or inverted. iii) larger, smaller, or same size. If none of the above applies, state that and explain how you know that.arrow_forward
- An object is placed 7.7 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 10-cm. 1) Calculate the image distance. Follow the sign convention. (Express your answer to two significant figures). 2) Calculate the magnification of the image. (Express your answer to two significant figures). 3) Is the image real or virtual? 4) Is the image upright or inverted?arrow_forwardIf the real image for a 11.6 cm focal length concave mirror is located 20.1 cm from the mirror, determine the location of the object. cm Additional Materials Readingarrow_forward1. What is the relationship between the focal length of a cylindrical mirror and its radius of curvature Do your results confirm your answer? 2.

An object is placed 9.00cm from this mirror draw a scale drawing and find the image distance. Label all distances (do, di, and f) and indicate the type and orientation of the imagearrow_forwardThe convex mirror produces a virtual image that is three fourths the size of the object. a) Determine the image distance if the object is 45.0 cm in front of the mirror (include the correct sign) b) Determine the focal length of the mirror (include the correct sign) and sketch a ray diagram to illustrate your solution. show all workarrow_forward
