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

O 5/2 f from the mirror, real, inverted, and enlarged. 3f from the mirror, real, upright, and enlargedarrow_forwardProblem 2: If a real object is presented to a convergent mirror, at an object distance greater than the mirror's focal length, but less than the mirror's radius of curvature, the image produced by the mirror will be (A) virtual, erect and enlarged relative to the object in absolute size. (B) real, inverted and reduced relative to the object in absolute size. (C) virtual, erect and reduced relative to the object in absolute size. (D) virtual, inverted and enlarged relative to the object in absolute size. (E) real, inverted and enlarged relative to the object in absolute size.arrow_forwardA tall tree is growing across a river from you. You would like to know the distance between yourself and the tree, as well as its height, but are unable to make the measurements directly. However, by using a mirror to form an image of the tree and then measuring the image distance and the image height, you can calculate the distance to the tree as well as its height. Suppose that this mirror produces an image of the sun, and the image is located 0.8278 m from the mirror. The same mirror is then used to produce an image of the tree. The image of the tree is 0.9219 m from the mirror. (a) How far away is the tree? (b) The image height of the tree has a magnitude of 0.13 m. How tall is the tree? (a) do = (b) ho= i iarrow_forward
- An object is placed in front of a convex mirror with radius of curvature = 18 cm. The object's height is 4.1 cm and it is initially 26 cm in front of the mirror. Find the (a) location and (b) height of the image. Next the object moves closer to the mirror, so the object distance is 3.4 cm. Again, find the (c) location and (d) height of the image. (e) What is the ratio of the image height when the object distance is 3.4 cm to that when the object distance is 26 cm?arrow_forwardA convex mirror (diverging) has a focal length of magnitude f.
