Question
A millipede sits 1.0 m in front of the nearest part of the surface
of a shiny sphere of diameter 0.70 m. (a) How far from the surface
does the millipede’s image appear? (b) If the millipede’s height is 2.0
mm,what is the image height? (c) Is the image inverted?

- A large spherical mirror sculpture is constructed in the town square at Physicston, Illinois. The sculpture consists of a large sphere with a diameter of 24 meters which is coated with a reflecting material. A 1.8 meter tall photographer stands a distance of 38 m from the concave side of the sculpture and takes a picture. Determine the image distance and the magnification of the photographer.arrow_forwardThe height of the image is -10 cm, which of the following is true? Question 10 options: it is upright it is virtual the magnification is positive it is invertedarrow_forwardYou unconsciously estimate the distance to an object from the angle it subtends in your field of view. This angle 0 in radians is related to the linear height of the object h and to the distance d by 0= h/d. Assume that you are driving a car and that another car, 1.50 m high, is 22.0 m behind you.

- A blue whale eyeball may be taken as a sphere that is about 15 cm in diameter. Assuming that it is filled with material with an index of refraction of 1.5, where would the image form for an object (in water) that is very far away? Just consider the initial image formed by refraction through the front surface. Select answer from the options below 15 cm behind the back of the eye 7.5 cm behind the front surface of the eye 15 cm behind the front surface of the eye Approximately 30 cm behind the back of the eye Approximately 50 cm behind the back of the eyearrow_forwardA typical human eye is nearly spherical, and is usually about 2.5 cm in diameter. Suppose a person first looks at a coin that is 2.4 cm in diameter and located 34.0 cm from her eye. Then, she looks up at a friend who is 1.8 m tall and 4.00 m away. Find the magnitude of the approximate size of each image (coin ℎI,coin and friend ℎI,friend) on her retina. (Hint: Just consider rays from the top and bottom of the object that pass through the center of the lens.) b) Are the images on her retina upright/inverted and/or virtual/real?arrow_forwardA 4 cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 35.5 cm from a diverging lens whose focal length magnitude is 12.2 cm. Determine the image distance from the lens, the image height, and the magnification. Put into words what your calculations physically represent about the image.arrow_forward
