- An object with height 0.85 cm is placed a distance 29 cm in front of a concave mirror with focal length of 6.25 cm, similar to the image shown. Part (a) Calculate and enter a value for the distance, in centimeters, between the image and the mirror given the values in problem statement. Part (b) Which statement best indicates the position of the image? 1. The object and image are on the same side of the mirror, and the image is closer to the mirror than the focal point. 2. The object and image are on the same side of the mirror, and the image is between the object and the same-side focal point. 3. The object and image are on the same side of the mirror, and image is farther from the mirror than the object. 4. The object and image are on opposite sides of the mirror, and the image is closer to the mirror than the focal point. 5. The object and image are on opposite sides of the mirror, and the image is farther from the mirror than the focal point. Part (c) Using the values…arrow_forwardAn object is placed 13 cm in front of a concave mirror whose focal length is 19 cm. The object is 2.5 cm tall. Determine (a) the location of the image, taking a real image as a positive value and a virtual image as a negative value. (b) Determine the height of the image, where an upright image will have a positive height and an inverted image will have a negative height.arrow_forwardWhile looking at her image in a cosmetic mirror, Dina notes that her face is highly magnified when she is close to the mirror, but as she backs away from the mirror, her image first becomes blurry, then disappears when she is about 24.0 cm from the mirror, and then inverts when she is beyond 24.0 cm. Based on these observations, answer the following questions about the mirror. (a) What type of mirror does Dina have? concave convex (b) What is the focal length of the mirror? cm (c) What is the radius of curvature of the mirror? cmarrow_forward
- A real object is placed at the zero end of a meterstick. A large concave mirror at the 100.0 cm end of the meterstick forms an image of the object at the 71.9 cm position. A small convex mirror placed at the 20.0 cm position forms a final image at the 11.5 cm point. What is the radius of curvature of the convex mirror? (Hint: The first image created by the concave mirror acts as an object for the convex mirror.)arrow_forwardAn object is placed in front of a concave mirror with a 16-cm radius of curvature.
