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

There are two spherical mirrors. In this part, merely notice the changes in the image as an object is moved away from the surface of the spherical concave or convex mirrors. You may observe your image by moving from a far point to closer to the mirrors. These qualitative observations should be recorded in your discussion.
An object is 60.0 cm from a converging lens and the object is 1.00 cm tall. What is the poisition and height of the image if the focal length of the lens is 25.0 cm? The object is at 0.0233 cm and the height of the image will be 0.715 cm upright. The object is at 0.0233 cm and the height of the image will be 0.000388 cm inverted. The object is at 42.9 cm and the height of the image will be 0.000388 cm upright. The object is at 42.9 cm and the height of the image will be 0.715 cm inverted.
In E111, the object is placed in front of a concave mirror, at an object distance 3x the magnitude of the focal length. Which of the following is incorrect? Consider the magnitudes only. O The image distance is 1.5 times the focal length. O The image height is 0.25 times the object height. O The image distance is 0.5 times the object distance. O The image is inverted.
A room in a carnival 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 6.40 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 m second image m third image Need Help? Read It

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
Let IB and OB be distances from the plane mirror to the image and object, respectively. Show that IB = OB. Prove that image and object have the same size.
Q: You hold up a piece of paper by a lens and see the image of a candle projected on the paper. Is this image real or virtual? Q: Will the projected image show the candle right-side-up or upside-down? Q: You look through a concave (diverging) lens at a candle. Will the image you see be smaller or larger in size than the actual candle?
A converging mirror has a focal length of x. An object, represented by the arrow, is placed at point B, as seen in the figure here. A B C D E x The image location is best described as O (A) left of point A. O (B) between points A and B. O (C) between points D and E. O (D) no image is formed the mirror causes parallel rays. x
An object is on the axis of a concave spherical mirror of curvature radius R = -2 m. Its image is twice the object size and appears in front of the mirror. Find the positions of the object and image, and supply a ray diagram.
A convex mirror (diverging) has a focal length of magnitude f. An object is placed in front of this mirror at a point f from the face of the mirror. The image will appear 1/2 f from the mirror, virtual, upright, inverted and enlarged. O 3f from the mirror, real, upright, and enlarged 2 f from the mirror, virtual, inverted, and diminished at a distance of 2/5 f from the mirror, virtual, upright, and reduced. 5/2 f from the mirror, real, inverted, and enlarged.
