An optics expert places two plane mirrors at an angle of 0, = 53.7° to each other, as shown below. She then directs a horizontal laser beam toward Mirror 1. The beam reflects twice: first off Mirror 1, then Mirror 2. What angle 0, will the outgoing beam make with the surface of Mirror 2? (Enter your answer in in degrees.) Mirror 1 Mirror 2

The image formed by a convex spherical mirror with a focal length of magnitude 12.0 cm is located one-fourth of the object-mirror distance from the mirror. a. What is the distance of the object from the mirror? b. Is the image formed by the mirror upright or inverted? c. What is the magnification of this image?
By using more than one flat mirror, construct a ray diagram showing how to create an inverted image.
Consider a pair of flat mirrors that are positioned so that they form an angle of 120 . An object is placed on the bisector between the minors. Construct a ray diagram as in Figure 2.4 to show how many images are formed. Figure 2.4 Two minors can produce multiple images. (a) Three images of a plastic lead are visible in the two minors at a right angle. (b) A single object reflecting from two minors at a right angle can produce three images, as shown by the greet, purple, and red images.
Two mirrors are inclined at an angle of 60 ° and an object is placed at a point that is equidistant from the two mirrors. Use a protractor to draw rays accurately and locate all images. You may have to draw several figures so that that rays for different images do not clutter your drawing.

If you wish to see your entire body in a flat mirror (from head to toe), how tall should the mirror be? Does its size depend upon your distance away from the mirror? Provide a sketch.
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.)
An object viewed with the naked eye subtends a 2° angle. If you view the object through a 10 x magnifying glass, what angle is subtended by the image formed on your retina?
A light bulb is placed 10 cm from a plane mirror, which faces a convex mirror of radius of curvature 8 cm. The plane mirror is located at a distance of 30 cm from the vertex of the convex mirror. Find the location of two images in the convex mirror. Are there other images? If so, where are they located?
Two convex lenses of focal lengths 20 cm and 10 cm are placed 30 cm apart, with the lens with the longer focal length on the right. An object of height 2.0 cm is placed midway between them and observed through each lens from the left and from the right. Describe what you will see, such as where the image(s) will appear, whether they will be upright or inverted and their magnifications.
You are looking for a mirror so that you can see a four- fold magnified virtual image of an object when the object is placed 5 cm from the vertex of the mirror. What kind of mirror you will need? What should be the radius of curvature of the mirror?
The radius of curvature of the left-hand face of a flint glass biconvex lens (n = 1.60) has a magnitude of 8.00 cm, and the radius of curvature of the right-hand face has a magnitude of 11.0 cm. The incident surface of a biconvex lens is convex regardless of which side is the incident side. What is the focal length of the lens if light is incident on the lens from the left?
