Concept explainers
Two plane mirrors stand facing each other, 3.00 m apart, and a woman stands between them. The woman looks at one of the mirrors from a distance of 1.00 m and holds her left arm out to the side of her body with the palm of her hand facing the closer mirror. (a) What is the apparent position of the closest image of her left hand, measured perpendicularly from the surface of the mirror in front of her? (b) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand? (c) What is the position of the next closest image? (d) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand? (e) What is the position of the third closest image? (f) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand? (g) Which of the images are real and which are virtual?

- An object 1.5 cm high is held 3.25 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.169 cm high. Part (b) What is the image distance in cm? Part (c) Find the radius of curvature in cm of the convex mirror formed by the cornea.arrow_forwardA woman stands 1.45 m in front of a full-length flat mirror. Find the position of her image, with proper sign, the magnification of her image, and whether it is real or virtual. (a) the position of her image m (b) the magnification of her image (c) whether it is real or virtual real virtual Need Help? Read Itarrow_forwardA man holds a double-sided spherical mirror so that he is looking directly into its convex surface, 57 cm from his face. The magnification of the image of his face is +0.11. What will be the image distance when he reverses the mirror (looking into its concave surface), maintaining the same distance between the mirror and his face? Be sure to include the algebraic sign (+ or -) with your answer.arrow_forward
- An object is located 14.0 cm in front of a convex mirror, theimage being 7.00 cm behind the mirror. A second object, twice as tall asthe first one, is placed in front of the mirror, but at a different location.The image of this second object has the same height as the other image.How far in front of the mirror is the second object located?arrow_forwardA man of height 170 cm wants to see his complete image in a plane mirror (while standing). His eyes are at a height of 160 cm from the ground.arrow_forwardAn object 3.4 mm tall is placed 25 cm from the vertex of a convex spherical mirror. The radius of curvature of the mirror has magnitude 73 cm. (a) How far (in cm) is the image from the vertex of the mirror?arrow_forward
- A 2.0-cm-high object is situated 15.0 cm in front of a concavemirror that has a radius of curvature of 10.0 cm. Using a ray diagramdrawn to scale, measure (a) the location and (b) the height of the image.The mirror must be drawn to scale.arrow_forwardA small teddy bear is placed in front of an automobile headlight reflector instead of Christmas ball. The teddy bear is located 12.0[cm] away from the vertex point of the reflector. The radius of curvature of the reflector is the same as the previous item. What is the distance, size, orientation and nature of the image formed?arrow_forwardThe image formed by a concave mirror is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Where should be the position of the object?(a) Between the principal focus and the centre of curvature(b) At the centre of curvature(c) Beyond the centre of curvature(d) Between the pole of the mirror and its principal focus.arrow_forward
