Problem 1: A person's eyes are h = 1.4 m above the floor as he stands d = 2.6 m away from a vertical plane mirror. The bottom edge of the mirror is at a height of y above the floor. Refer to the figure. Part (a) The person looks at the bottom edge of the mirror and sees a reflection from points on the floor that are x = 0.55 m horizontally away from the mirror. Refer to the figure. How high, in meters, is the bottom edge of the mirror above the floor? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. y = Part (b) If the person doubles his distance from the mirror, what horizontal distance, in meters, along the floor from the mirror will he see when he looks at the bottom edge of the mirror. In other words, what will be the new value of x, in meters. Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.

The figure shows a star shaped object in front of a concave mirror. One light ray from the top of the star moves parallel to the principle axis (small-dotted line) and is reflected as shown in the direction indicated by the arrows.

You are given a circular plane mirror of diameter 6.0 cm. Consider, by drawing, the field of view (in image space) for a point P located on the axis at a distance 10.0 cm to the left of the mirror. What is the half field angle?
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
