A 40 cm tall trolley is placed at u cm from a mirror. The image formed by the mirror is an upright image with the height of its image is 80 cm. State the type of mirror and Identify the characteristic of the image. Explain your answer. Given the radius of curvature of the mirror is 40 cm, by applying the conventional method, prove that the ratio of image distance, v to object distance, u is 1. Should the object were changed to double the height? If yes/no. Explain the changes happened. Justify your answer.

Derive the following equation for a convex mirror: 1VO1VI=1VF where VO is the distance to the object O from vertex V, VI the distance to the image I from V, and VF is the distance to the focal point F from V. (Hint: use two sets of similar triangles.)
Lulu looks at her image in a makeup mirror. It is enlarged when she is close to the mirror. As she backs away, the image becomes larger, then impossible to identify when she is 30.0 cm from the mirror, then upside down when she is beyond 30.0 cm, and finally small, clear, and upside down when she is much farther from the mirror. (i) Is the mirror (a) convex, (b) plane, or (c) concave? (ii) Is the magnitude of its focal length (a) 0, (b) 15.0 cm, (c) 30.0 cm, (d) 60.0 cm, or (e) ?
An object is located in water 15 cm from the vertex of a concave surface made of glass with a radius of curvature 10 cm. Where does the image by refraction form and what is its magnification? Use nwater=4/3and nglass=1.5.
The image produced by the microscope in Figure 2.38 cannot be projected. Could extra lenses or mirrors project it? Explain.
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 . When an object is placed between the mirrors, a number of images are formed. In general, if the angle is such that n = 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).
A spherical mirror is to be used to form an image, five times as tall as an object on a screen positioned 5.0 m from the mirror. (a) Describe the type of mirror required. (b) Where should the object be positioned relative to the mirror?
A person spear fishing from a boat sees a stationary fish a few meters away in a direction about 30 below the horizontal. To spear the fish, and assuming the spear does not change direction when it enters the water, should the person (a) aim above where he sees the fish. (b) aim below the fish, or (c) aim precisely at the fish?
An object is located in air 5 cm from the vertex of a concave surface made of glass with a radius of curvature 20 cm. Where does the image form by refraction and what is its magnification? Use nair=1 and nglass=1.5 .
An object 1.50 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.167 cm high. (a) What is the magnification? (b) Where is the image? (c) Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea. (Note that this technique is used by optometrists to measure the curvature of the cornea for contact lens fitting. The instrument used is called a keratometer, or curve measurer.)
Some rearview mirrors produce images of cars to your rear that are smaller than they would be if the mirror were flat. What is a mirror's radius of curvature if cars 19.0 m away appear 0.25 their normal size? Follow the sign conventions. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
1a) Place the object on the focal point. What can you say about the light rays? Are there going to cross each other at any point? 1b ) Does the diameter effect on the focal length?
