A 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 0.8750 m from the mirror. The same mirror is then used to produce an image of the tree. The image of the tree is 0.9601 m from the mirror. (a) How far away is the tree? (b) The image height of the tree has a magnitude of 0.16 m. How tall is the tree?

A large spherical mirror sculpture is constructed in the town square at Physicston, Illinois. The sculpture consists of a large sphere with a diameter of 24 meters which is coated with a reflecting material. A 1.8 meter tall photographer stands a distance of 38 m from the concave side of the sculpture and takes a picture. Determine the image distance and the magnification of the photographer.

A room in an amusement park funhouse has two flat mirrors on opposite walls, so that a person standing between the mirrors sees a "never-ending" series of reflections. A person stands 2.40 m from the mirror on the left wall and 5.50 m from the mirror on the right wall. What are the distances (in m), as measured from the person, for the first three images seen by the person in the left wall mirror? first image second image third image 2.40 X This is the image distance from the left mirror. Add this to the distance from the person to the mirror to get the total distance from the person to the image. m m m
