Two flat mirrors have their reflecting surfaces facing each other, with the edge of one mirror in contact with an edge of the other, so that the angle between the mirrors is . When an object is placed between the mirrors, a number of images are formed. In general, if the angle is such that n = 360, where n is an integer, the number of images formed is n 1. Graphically, find all the image positions for the case n = 6 when a point object is between the mirrors (but not on the angle bisector).
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?
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.
Example (1): A candle that have length (5 cm) placed in (40 cm) away from a convex mirror with the radius of its ball (60 cm), find the position of the imagination, amount of magnification, length and characteristics of the imagination.
Case Example:Compute for the number of images produced by a 2 separate mirrors at an angle of 60 degrees if the object is placed between the mirrors.N = (360°/60°) - 1 = 6 - 1N = 5 imagesKindly answer 1 and 21. Compute for the number of images produced by a 2 separate mirrors at an angle fo 45 degrees if the objects is placed between the mirrors. 2. A sight testing chart measuring 120 cm x 80 cm, the long dimension being the vertical one is to be viewed by reflection in a plane mirror. Find the smallest size of the mirror that can be used if the chart is 3.25 meters away from the mirror and the observer's eye is 2.75 away from the mirror. The lower edge of the chart is 1.5 meters above the ground. How high must the edge of the mirror the ground?
Problem 10: A simple compound microscope with an overall magnification of -550 has an objective that magnifies by -250. Part (a) What is the magnification of the eyepiece? Part (b) If there is another objective that can be used, having magnification of -400, what other total magnification is possible?

Question 2 You go for a free eye test in City Pharmacy. (a) The prescription given to you for eyeglasses reads: “P = +2.0D”. Explain what this means in terms of the focal length, and the type of lens needed.(b) From this prescription, does this mean you are Nearsighted or Farsighted?
1. Find the two locations where an object can be placed in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 46.0 cm such that its image is 3.5 times its size. 2. For each object position in part (1), draw a ray diagram including drawings of the mirror, principal axis, focal point, at least two principal rays (i.e. 2 incident and 2 reflected rays), object arrow, and image arrow. 3. For each of the object positions in part (1), state whether the image is real or virtual, upright or inverted.

Question 1 Vagi decides to do an experiment to verify whether the ray tracing method, to find the location of the image using a concave spherical mirror, is correct. The concave mirror as a radius of curvature of 22.0 cm. He uses a pencil as the object and places it 16.5 cm to the left of the concave mirror. (a) Verify Vagi’s ray diagram by using the appropriate equations to determine the position, size, orientation (Upright/inverted), and nature (real/virtual) of the image.(b) Sketch a ray diagram to verify your calculation above.
