The side of a thin lens that faces the object is convex andhas radius of curvature 15.0 cm. The other side is concave and hasradius of curvature 25.0 cm. The lens is made of glass with index ofrefraction 1.55. Is this lens thicker at its center or at its edges
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?
A man standing 1.56 m in front of a shaving mirror produces an inverted image 15.0 cm in front of it. How close to the mirror should he stand if he wants to form an upright image of his chin that is twice the chin's actual size?_____ cm
