A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 24.0 cm. (a) Determine the object position for which the resulting image is upright and larger than the object by a factor of 3.00. (b) Draw a ray diagram to determine the position of the image. (c) Is the image real or virtual?
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) ?

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.
A biology student uses a simple magnifier to examine the structural features of an insects wing. The wing is held 3.50 cm in front of the lens, and the image is formed 25.0 cm from the eye. (a) What is the focal length of the lens? (b) What angular magnification is achieved?

A 1.80-m-tall person stands 9.00 m in front of a large, concave spherical mirror having a radius of curvature of 3.00 m. Determine (a) the mirrors focal length, (b) the image distance, and (c) the magnification. (d) Is the image real or virtual? (e) Is the image upright or inverted?
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.
. A small object is placed to the left of a convex lens and on its optical axis. The object is 30 cm from the lens, which has a focal length of 10 cm. Determine the location of the image formed by the lens. Describe the image.
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.)

A microscope has an objective lens with a focal length of 16.22 mm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 9.50 mm. With the length of the barrel set at 29.0 cm, the diameter of a red blood cells image subtends an angle of 1.43 mrad with the eye. It the final image distance is 29.0 cm from the eyepiece, what is the actual diameter of the red blood cell? Hint: To solve this question, go back to basics and use the thin-lens equation.
