Chapter 36, Problem 6P
Two flat mirrors have their reflecting surfaces facing each other, with the edge of one mirror in contact with an edge of the other, so that the angle between the mirrors is α. When an object is placed between the mirrors, a number of images are formed. In general, if the angle α is such that nα = 360°, where n is an integer, the number of images formed is n − 1. Graphically, find all the image positions for the case n = 6 when a point object is between the mirrors (but not on the angle bisector).

Two flat mirrors have their reflecting surfaces facing each other, with the edge of one mirror in contact with an edge of the other, so that the angle between the mirrors is α.

A concave mirror has the focal length equal to 0.491 m. To form a real image that is triple the size of the object on a screen, at what distance in front of the mirror should the screen be placed (in m; answer a positive number)?
You have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q (the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 1.92m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 3.16m, what is the focal length of the mirror?
The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.
