What is the difference between the real image and virtual image formed by a mirror? A. Real image is formed when a real object is placed in front of a mirror, whereas virtual image is formed when an imaginary object is placed in front of the mirror. B. Real images have real applications whereas virtual images do not have any applications. C. Real images are formed by the light rays that meet in front of the mirror after reflection, whereas virtual images are formed when light rays appear to meet behind the mirror. D. All mirrors can form both real and virtual images.

Lulu looks at her image in a makeup mirror. It 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) ?
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 virtual image is formed 20.0 cm from a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of 40.0 cm. (a) Find the position of the object. (b) What is the magnification of the mirror?

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?
A dentist uses a spherical mirror to examine a tooth. The tooth is 1.00 cm in front of the mirror, and the image is formed 10.0 cm behind the mirror. Determine (a) the mirrors radius of curvature and (b) the magnification of the image.
What are the differences between real and virtual images? How can you tell (by looking) whether an image formed by a single lens or mirror is real or virtual?
A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 60.0 cm. Calculate the image position and magnification of an object placed in front of the mirror at distances of (a) 90.0 cm and (b) 20.0 cm. (c) Draw ray diagrams to obtain the image characteristics in each case.
Consider a spherical concave mirror with the object located to the left of the mirror beyond the focal point. Using ray diagrams, show that the image moves to the left as the object approaches the focal point.
An object 10.0 cm tall is placed at the zero mark of a meter-stick. A spherical mirror located at some point on the meter-stick creates an image of the object that is upright, 4.00 cm tall, and located at the 42.0-cm mark of the meterstick. (a) Is the mirror convex or concave? (b) Where is the mirror? (c) What is the mirror s focal length?
Consider a pair of flat mirrors that are positioned so that they form an angle of 60 .. An object is placed on the bisector between the mirrors. Construct a ray diagram as in Figure 2.4 to show how many images ale 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.
