- You are given a spherical mirror and wish to determine its properties. You place an object on its axis, 43.9 cm in front of it, and discover that the mirror creates a virtual image located 17.9 cm from the mirror. Determine the mirror's focal length in centimeters. Calculate the mirror's radius of curvature in centimeters.arrow_forwardAn object is placed (3.80x10^1) cm in front of a spherical mirror.-- An "upright" image is formed that is twice as tall as the object. You must do BOTH of the following. FIRST determine the radius of curvature of the mirror in cm to 3 significant digits Be certain to include the appropriate "sign" for the focal length.arrow_forward(a) A concave spherical mirror forms an inverted image 4.00 times larger than the object. Assuming the distance between object and image is 0.700 m, find the focal length of the mirror. -0.187 X The magnification gives a relationship between p and q. If you know the distance between the object and image, how do you determine the individual values of p and q? m (b) Suppose the mirror is convex. The distance between the image and the object is the same as in part (a), but the image is 0.500 the size of the object. Determine the focal length of the mirror. 0.467 Check your use of minus signs carefully. What is the sign of the image distance? marrow_forward
- A mirror produces an image that is located 28.0 cm behind the mirror, when the object is located 7.90cm in front of the mirro. What is the focal length of the mirror? Is the mirror concave or convex?arrow_forwardThe outside mirror on the passenger side of a car is convex and has a focal length of -8.9 m. Relative to this mirror, a truck traveling in the rear has an object distance of 11 m. Find (a) the image distance and (b) the magnification of the mirror. (a) Number i (b) Number .. Units Units doarrow_forwardMost side mirrors on cars have the warning "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear." This is because the mirror is not a plane mirror (it is not completely flat). It is a convex mirror. You reason that your particular mirror has a focal length of f = -12 m. The image of a cyclist in the mirror appears to be a distance of 3.1 m away from the mirror. (a) Do convex mirrors form real images or virtual images? virtual ✓ (b) How far away from the mirror is the cyclist? (find the object distance). Think about the sign of the image distance (is it real or virtual?). m (c) What is the magnification of the cyclist? Pay attention to the sign of your answer (+). (d) Is the image upright or inverted?arrow_forward
- A convex mirror has a focal length of -21 cm. Find the magnification produced by the mirror when the object distance is (a)6 cm and (b)15 cm.arrow_forwardQ1 a) An object 0.600 cm tall is placed 16.5 cm to the left of the vertex of a concave spherical mirror having a radius of curvature of 22.0 cm. Determine the position, size, high, and nature (real or virtual) of the image.arrow_forwardA convex mirror with a radius of curvature of -30.0 cm is used to form an image of an arrow that is 13.6 cm away from the mirror. If the arrow is 2.10 cm tall and inverted (pointing below the optical axis), what is the height of the arrow's image? (Include the sign of the value in your answer.) cmarrow_forward
- A spherical mirror is to be used to form an image, four times as tall as an object, on a screen positioned 4.4 m from the mirror. (a) Describe the type of mirror required. The mirror is a ---Mirror Type--- mirror and it has a focal length of ---Mirror Type--- (b) Where should the m The object shou concave convex ct? rror. m.arrow_forwardA convex mirror with a radius of curvature of−26.0cm is used to form an image of an arrow that is 12.0 cm away from the mirror. If the arrow is 2.10 cm tall and inverted (pointing below the optical axis), what is the height of the arrow's image? (Include the sign of the value in your answer.) cmarrow_forwardA magnified, inverted image is located a distance of 32.0 cm from a concave mirror with a focal length of 12.0 cm. Determine the object distance and tell whether the image is real or virtual.arrow_forward
