Concept explainers

Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

A lamp of height S cm is placed 40 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 20 cm. There is a plane mirror 15 cm behind the lens. Where would you find the image when you look in the mirror?
The lens and the mirror in figure P23.51 are separated by 1.00 m and have focal lengths of +80.0 cm and 50.0 cm., respectively. If an object is placed 1.00 m to the left of the lens, where will the final image be located? Stale whether the image is upright or inverted, and determine the overall magnification. Figure P23.51
A converging lens in a vertical plane receives light from an object and forms an inverted image on a screen. An opaque card is then placed next to the lens, covering only the upper half of the lens. What happens to the image on the screen? (a) The upper half of the image disappears. (b) The lower half of the image disappears. (c) 'The entire image disappears, (d) The entire image is still visible, but is dimmer. (e) No change in the image occurs.
An observer to the right of the mirror-lens combination shown in Figure P36.89 (not to scale) sees two real images that are the same size and in the same location. One image is upright, and the other is inverted. Both images are 1.50 times larger than the object. The lens has a focal length of 10.0 cm. The lens and mirror are separated by 40.0 cm. Determine the focal length of the mirror.
The lens and mirror in Figure P36.77 are separated by d = 1.00 m and have focal lengths of +80.0 cm and -50.0 cm, respectively. An object is placed p = 1.00 m to the left of the lens as shown, (a) Locate the final image, formed by light that has gone through the lens twice. (b) Determine the overall magnification of the image and (c) state whether the image is upright or inverted.
Au object of height 3.0 cm is placed at 25 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 20 cm. Behind the diverging lens, there is a converging lens of focal length 20 cm. The distance between the lenses is 5.0 cm. Fluid the location and size of the final image.
An object 1.50 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.16? cm high. (a) What is the magnification? (b) Where is the image? (c) Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea. (Note that this technique is used by optometrists to measure the curvature of the cornea for contact lens ?tting. The instrument used is called a keratometer, or curve measurer.)
A particular nearsighted patient cant see objects clearly beyond 15.0 cm from their eye. Determine (a) the lens power required to correct the patients vision and (b) the type of lens required (converging or diverging). Neglect the distance between the eye and the corrective lens.
Suppose you want to use a converging lens to project the image of two trees onto a screen. One tree is a distance x from the lens; the other is at 2%, as in Figure CQ23.7. You adjust the screen so that the near tree is in focus. If you now want the far tree to be in focus, do you move the screen toward or away from the lens? Figure CQ23.7
