Chapter 18, Problem 26P
The illumination lights in an operating room use a concave mirror to focus an image of a bright lamp onto the surgical site. One such light has a mirror with a focal length of 15.0 cm. Use ray tracing to find the position of its lamp when the patient is positioned 1.0 m from the mirror (you’ll need a careful drawing to get a good answer).

- Figure P36.95 shows a thin converging lens for which the radii of curvature of its surfaces have magnitudes of 9.00 cm and 11.0 cm. The lens is in front of a concave spherical mirror with the radius of curvature R = 8.00 cm. Assume the focal points F1 and F2 of the lens are 5.00 cm from the center of the lens, (a) Determine the index of refraction of the lens material. The lens and mirror are 20.0 cm apart, and an object is placed 8.00 cm to the left of the lens.

(b) The image is real. (c) The image is upright. (d) The image is inverted. (e) None of those statements is always true. (ii) When the image of an object is formed by a concave mirror, which of the preceding statements are always true? (iii) When the image of an object is formed by a convex mirror, which of the preceding statements are always true?arrow_forwardA small convex mirror and a large concave mirror are separated by 1.00 m, and an object is placed 1.40 m to the left of the concave mirror (Fig. P37.69). The concave mirror forms an image of this object at distance di = 25.0 cm. This image is then reflected in the convex mirror, which forms an image a distance of 8.00 cm behind the convex mirror. What is the focal length of the small convex mirror? FIGURE P37.69arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? Consider the lensmirror combination shown in Figure P35.55. The lens has a focal length of fL = 0.200 m, and the mirror has a focal length of fM = 0.500 m. The lens and mirror are placed a distance d = 1.30 m apart, and an object is placed at p = 0.300 m from the lens. By moving a screen to various positions to the left of the lens, a student finds two different positions of the screen that produce a sharp image of the object. One of these positions corresponds to light leaving the object and traveling to the left through the lens. The other position corresponds to light traveling to the right from the object, reflecting from the mirror and then passing through the lens. Figure P35.55 Problem 55 and 57.arrow_forward

Determine the focal length of the minor.arrow_forwardYou are training to become an opticians assistant. One day, you are learning how to fit a contact lens to a patients eye. You make a measurement with a keratometer, which is used to measure the curvature of the eyes front surface, the cornea. This instrument places an illuminated object of known size at a known distance p from the cornea. The cornea reflects some light from the object, forming an image of the object. The magnification M of the image is measured by using a small viewing telescope that allows comparison of the image formed by the cornea with a second calibrated image projected into the field of view by a prism arrangement. As part of your training, the optician has required that you do not use the automatic calculator associated with the machine, but must perform the calculations yourself. You must determine the radius of curvature R of the cornea for the measurements you make for the patient: p = 30.0 cm and M = 0.013 0.arrow_forwardAn object 1.50 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.16? cm high. (a) What is the magnification? (b) Where is the image? (c) Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea.
