- An object 1.6 cm high is held 3.15 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.175 cm high. Part (a) What is the magnification? Part (b) What is the image distance in cm? Part (c) Find the radius of curvature in cm of the convex mirror formed by the cornea.arrow_forwardA virtual image of magnification +0.5 is produced when an object is placed 10 cm in front of a curved mirror. Determine the radius of curvature of the mirror.arrow_forwardAn object of 2 cm tall is placed 1cm in front of a convex mirror of focal length of 2 cm. (a) Use ray tracing to find the image. (b) Use the mirror equation to find the image distance and compare it to your ray tracing and find the percentage error.arrow_forward
- Construct ray diagrams to determine whether each of the fol- lowing statements is true (T) or false (F). (a) For an object at a concave mirror's center of curvature, the image is real and inverted. (b) As an object approaches the focal point of a concave mirror, the image size shrinks to zero. (c) For an object in front of a convex mirror, the image is always virtual and upright.arrow_forwardWhat general statement can be made about the location and size of the image produced by a concave mirror when the object distance is:a) > 2fb) equal to 2fc) < 2f but > fd) < f For locations relate to focal length and for image size use magnified/minified.arrow_forward
