While 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 34.0 cm from the mirror, and then inverts when she is beyond 34.0 cm. Based on these observations, answer the following questions about the mirror. (a) What type of mirror does Dina have? O convex O concave (b) What is the focal length of the mirror? cm (c) What is the radius of curvature of the mirror? cm

A person walks into a room that has two flat mirrors on opposite walls. File mirrors produce multiple images of the person. Consider only the images formed in the mirror on the left. When the person is 2.00 m from the mirror on the left wall and 4.00 m from the mirror on the right wall, find the distance from the person to the first three images seen in the mirror on the left wall.
An industrial physicist wishes to specify the properties of a concave makeup mirror, which is supposed to provide an upright and enlarged image of the user's face. The physicist wants a magnification factor of two, and he assumes that the user's face will be 27 cm in front of the mirror. What radius of curvature should be specified (in m) for the fabrication of these mirrors?
