Chapter 9, Problem 17Q
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically involve integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.)
. An observer O stands in front of a plane mirror as shown in Figure 9.80. Which of the numbered locations 1 through 5 best represents the location of the image of the source S seen by the observer? Justify your choice by appealing to the appropriate law(s) of optics.

lens is 15 cm.

(b) An object is placed in front of a converging lens. A real image is formed, as shown in Fig. 7.1.
The converging lens is not shown.
(i) Explain what is meant by a real image.
(ii) Rays of light from point A on the object form point B on the image.

this position,
2. a ray to find the position of a principal focus of the lens, marking this position F,
3. a third possible ray from A to B.
(iii) The distance between the object and the lens is increased. State any changes which take place in

The glass is a thin-walled hollow cylinder 16.0 cm high with a top and bottom of the glass diameter of 8.0 cm. While you keep your eye in the same position, a friend fills the glass with a transparent liquid, and you then see a dime that is lying at the center of the bottom of the glass (see the figure(b)).arrow_forwardThe sun is 150,000,000 kmkm from earth; its diameter is 1,400,000 kmkm. For a science project on solar power, a student uses a 24-cmcm-diameter converging mirror with a focal length of 51 cmcm to focus sunlight onto an object. This casts an image of the sun on the object. For the most intense heat, the image of the sun should be in focus. What is the diameter of the image? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forward
