Ray Optics

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Textbook Question

Chapter 18, Problem 77GP

The writing on the passenger-side mirror of your car says “Warning! Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.” There is no such warning on the driver's mirror. Consider a typical convex passenger-side mirror with a focal length of –80 cm. A 1.5-m-tall cyclist on a bicycle is 25 m from the mirror. You are 1.0 m from the mirror, and suppose, for simplicity, that the mirror, you, and the cyclist all lie along a line.

Chapter 18, Problem 77GP, The writing on the passenger-side mirror of your car says Warning! Objects in mirror are closer than

a. How far are you from the image of the cyclist?

b. How far would you have been from the image if the mirror were flat?

c. What is the image height?

d. What would the image height have been if the mirror were flat?

e. Why is there a label on the passenger-side mirror?
