An object is placed in front of a convex mirror with radius of curvature = 14 cm. The object's height is 3.5 cm and it is initially 23 cm in front of the mirror. Find the (a) location and (b) height of the image. Next the object moves closer to the mirror, so the object distance is 3.0 cm. Again, find the (c) location and (d) height of the image. (e) What is the ratio of the image height when the object distance is 3.0 cm to that when the object distance is 23 cm?
An object is placed in front of a convex mirror with radius of curvature = 18 cm. The object's height is 4.1 cm and it is initially 26 cm in front of the mirror. Find the (a) location and (b) height of the image. Next the object moves closer to the mirror, so the object distance is 3.4 cm. Again, find the (c) location and (d) height of the image. (e) What is the ratio of the image height when the object distance is 3.4 cm to that when the object distance is 26 cm?
A man stands in front of a vertical plane mirror, as shown in the figure. His eyes are 1.85 m above the floor and the top of his head is 0.15 m higher than that.
Part (a) Find the height above the floor, in meters, of the bottom edge of the shortest mirror in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. This height is denoted hb in the figure.
Part (b) Find the height above the floor, in meters, of the top edge of the shortest mirror in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. This height is denoted ht in the figure.
