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?
Construct ray diagrams to determine whether each of the following statement is true (T) or false (F). (a) For an object at a concave mirrors center of curvature, the image is real and inverted. (b) As an object approaches the focal point of a concave mirror, the image size shrinks to zero. (c) For an object in front of a convex mirror, the image is always virtual and upright.
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.)
Some telephoto cameras use a mirror rather than a lens. What radius of curvature mirror is needed to replace a 800 mm focal length telephoto lens?
A lens is used to examine an object across a room. Is the lens probably being used as a simple magnifier? Explain in terms of focal length, the image, and magnification.
Lulu looks at her image in a makeup mirror. lt 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) ?
