Chapter 10.2, Problem 2aT
Place your head so that you can see the image of the nail in the mirror.
Use the method of parallax to position the second nail so that it is located in the same place as the image of the object nail. Mark this location on the paper.
Is the image of the nail located on the surface of, in front of, or behind the mirror? Explain.
Would observe at other locations agree that the image is located at the place you marked? Check your answer experimentally.

An object is placed 10 m before a convex lens with focal length 5.2 m . Another concave lens is placed 15.6 m behind the first lens with a focal length −7.2 m (see the figure below).
Note: Make a ray diagram sketch in order to check your numerical answer.
At what distance is the first image from the first lens?
Answer in units of m.
What is the magnification of the first image?
At what distance is the second image from the second lens?
Answer in units of m.
What is the magnification of the final image, when compared to the initial object?
A concave lens refracts parallel rays in such a way that they are bent away from the axis of the lens. For this reason, a concave lens is referred to as a diverging lens.
Part A: Consider the following diagrams, where F represents the focal point of a concave lens. In these diagrams, the image formed by the lens is obtained using the ray tracing technique. Which diagrams are accurate?(Figure 1)
*Type A if you think that only diagram A is correct, type AB if you think that only diagrams A and B are correct, and so on.
Part B: If the focal length of the concave lens is -7.50 cm , at what distance d_o from the lens should an object be placed so that its image is formed 3.70 cm from the lens?
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A man 1.90 m tall stands in front of a mirror and sees his full height, no more and no less. If his eyes are 0.15 m from the top of his head, what is the minimum height of the mirror? m

Use the values from PRACTICE IT to help you work this exercise. How large should the mirror be if he wants to see only the upper 50% of his body?d = m
