A dentist wishes to inspect a patient's tooth with a magnifying mirror. She places the mirror 1.00 cm behind the tooth. This results in an upright, virtual image of the tooth that is 9.00 cm behind the mirror.
What is the mirror's radius of curvature (in cm)?
What magnification describes the image described in this passage?
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 0.9000 m from the mirror. The same mirror is then used to produce an image of the tree. The image of the tree is 0.9100 m from the mirror. (a) How far away is the tree? (b) The image height of the tree has a magnitude of 0.12 m. How tall is the tree?

- In Figure P35.30, a thin converging lens of focal length 14.0 cm forms an image of the square abed, which is he = hb = 10.0 cm high and lies between distances of pd = 20.0 cm and pa = 30.0 cm from the lens. Let a, b, c. and d represent the respective corners of the image. Let qa represent the image distance for points a and b, qd represent the image distance for points c and d, hb, represent the distance from point b to the axis, and hc represent the height of c. (a) Find qa, qd, hb, and hc. (b) Make a sketch of the image. (c) The area of the object is 100 cm2. By carrying out the following steps, you will evaluate the area of the image.

(e) Is the image upright or inverted?arrow_forwardA floating strawberry illusion is achieved with two parabolic mirrors, each having a focal length 7.50 cm, facing each other as shown in Figure P33.58. If a strawberry is placed on the lower mirror, an image of the strawberry is formed at the small opening at the center of the top mirror, 7.50 cm above the lowest point of the bottom mirror. The position of the eye in Figure P35.58a corresponds to the view of the apparatus in Figure P35.58b. Consider the light path marked A. Notice that this light path is blocked by the upper mirror so that the strawberry itself is not directly observable. The light path marked B corresponds to the eye viewing the image of the strawberry that is formed at the opening at the top of the apparatus. (a) Show that the final image is formed at that location and describe its characteristics. (b) A very startling effect is to shine a flashlight beam on this image. Even al a glancing angle, the incoming light beam is seemingly reflected from the image! Explain. Figure P35.58arrow_forward
- Why 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.

(a) At what value of p should the object be positioned to the left of the first lens? (b) What is the magnification of the final image? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted? (d) Is the final image real or virtual?arrow_forward
- A 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_forwardAn observer to the right of the mirror-lens combination shown in Figure P36.89 (not to scale) sees two real images that are the same size and in the same location. One image is upright, and the other is inverted. Both images are 1.50 times larger than the object. The lens has a focal length of 10.0 cm. The lens and mirror are separated by 40.0 cm. Determine the focal length of the mirror.arrow_forwardFigure P38.43 shows a concave meniscus lens. If |r1| = 8.50 cm and |r2| = 6.50 cm, find the focal length and determine whether the lens is converging or diverging. The lens is made of glass with index of refraction n = 1.55. CHECK and THINK: How do your answers change if the object is placed on the right side of the lens? FIGURE P38.43arrow_forward
