Chapter 35, Problem 58CP

A floating strawberry illusion is achieved with two parabolic mirrors, each having a focal length 7.50 cm, facing each other as shown in Figure P33.58. If a strawberry is placed on the lower mirror, an image of the strawberry is formed at the small opening at the center of the top mirror, 7.50 cm above the lowest point of the bottom mirror. The position of the eye in Figure P35.58a corresponds to the view of the apparatus in Figure P35.58b. Consider the light path marked A. Notice that this light path is blocked by the upper mirror so that the strawberry itself is not directly observable. The light path marked B corresponds to the eye viewing the image of the strawberry that is formed at the opening at the top of the apparatus. (a) Show that the final image is formed at that location and describe its characteristics. (b) A very startling effect is to shine a flashlight beam on this image. Even al a glancing angle, the incoming light beam is seemingly reflected from the image! Explain.

In Figure P35.30, a thin converging lens of focal length 14.0 cm forms an image of the square abed, which is h, h, = 10.0 cm high and lies between distances of p, = 20.0 cm and p. = 30.0 cm from the lens. Let a', b', c', and d' represent the respective corners of the image. Let q, rep- resent the image distance for points d' and b', q. represent the image dis- tance for points e' and d', h, represent the dis- tance from point b' to the axis, and H represent the height of c'. (a) Find q. 94, h, and h'. (b) Make a sketch of the image. (c) The area of the object is 100 cm?. By carrying out the following steps, you will evaluate the area of the image. Let q represent the image distance of any point between a' and d', for which the object distance is p. Let h' represent the dis- tance from the axis to the point at the edge of the image between i and c' at image distance q. Demonstrate that a dF Figure P35.30 |씨%=D10.0g( 14.0 9. where k and q are in centimeters. (d) Explain why the geo-…
The nickel’s image in Figure P23.36 has twice the diameter of the nickel when the lens is 2.84 cm from the nickel. Determine the focal length of the lens.
A man's face is at a distance p = 15 cm in front of a concave spherical shaving mirror. If the image is erect (upright) and 1.5 times largen than the object, what is the radius of curvature of the mirror? O R= 36 cm O R= 60 cm O R= 180 cm O R= 90 cm O R= 30 cm
