9 through 16 GO 12 SSM 9, 11, 13 Spherical mirrors. Object O stands on the central axis of a spherical mirror. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-3 gives object distance ps (centimetres), the type of mirror, and then the distance (centimetres, without proper sign) between the focal point and the mirror. Find (a) the radius of curvature r (including sign), (b) the image distance i, and (c) the lateral magnification m. Also, determine whether the image is (d) real (R) or virtual (V), (e) inverted (I) from object O or noninverted (NI), and (f) on the same side of the mirror as O or on the opposite side

- When a man stands near the edge of an empty drainage ditch of depth 2.80 m, he can barely see the boundary between the opposite wall and bottom of the ditch as in Figure (a) shown below. The distance from his eyes to the ground is h = 1.88 m. (Assume ? = 33.0°.) Figure a. A man of height h stands a horizontal distance d left of an empty rectangular drainage ditch of depth 2.80 m. A ray starts at the bottom right corner of the ditch, extends up and to the left to the upper left corner of the ditch, and then reaches the man's eyes. The ray forms an angle ? with the vertical. Figure b. A man of height h stands a horizontal distance xleft of a rectangular drainage ditch that is filled with water. A ray starts at the bottom right corner of the ditch and extends up and to the left to the upper left corner of the ditch at an angle ? with the vertical. Upon exiting the water, the ray bends to become less steep than the ray in water, and extends up and to the left to the man's eyes. (a) What is…arrow_forwardMore mirrors.

- You have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q (the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 1.86m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 3.7m, what is the focal length of the mirror? P h AI C | I B h' Q | k V 9 Р The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.arrow_forwardAs shown in the figure, a ray of light strikes a plane mirror with some incident angle. The mirror is now rotated by an angle of a = 26.0° about an axis through the point where N, contacts the mirror, without altering the incident ray. The new position is shown by the line M,. Reflected ray before rotation Reflected ray after rotation M1 a M2 (a) Determine the angle through which the reflected ray rotates if the incident angle is 40.0°. (b) Determine the angle through which the reflected ray rotates if the incident angle is 50.0°.arrow_forwardAn ice cube (nice 1.31) with edge length a is surrounded by air (nair = 1.00). An incoming ray of light strikes the ice cube at the midpoint on face #1 (the front face), and the refracted ray strikes the midpoint on face #2 (the top face).

- The kitten, Simba (Fig. A) and the kitten, Bella (Fig. B) are inspecting a goldfish swimming inside a round aquarium filled with water (nwater = 1.33). The magnitude of the radius of the round surface of the aquarium is 16 cm. The kittens are in air (nair=1.00). In order to calculate the apparent depth of the fish as viewed by the kittens, you need to use the equation shown in Fig. C. Identify the following (Please note that I am not asking you to do the calculation) n₁ P Fig. A + n₂ 9 = (n₂-n₁) R Fig. C Fig. A: n₁ = Fig. B: n₁ = ; n₂ = _; n₂ = Fig. B ; R = ; R =arrow_forwardA concave mirror has a focal length of 39.4 cm.

- You have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q(the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 1.45m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 4.11m, what is the focal length of the mirror? The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.arrow_forwardTwo flat mirrors have their reflecting surfaces facing each other, with the edge of one mirror in contact with an edge of the other, so that the angle between the mirrors is α. When an object is placed between the mirrors, a number of images are formed. In general, if the angle α is such that nα = 360°, where n is an integer, the number of images formed is n - 1. Graphically, find all the image positions for the case n = 6 when a point object is between the mirrors (but not on the angle bisector).arrow_forwardThe smallest object we can resolve with our eye is limited by the size of the light receptor cells in the retina. In order for us to distinguish any detail in an object, its image cannot be any smaller than a single retinal cell. Although the size depends on the type of cell (rod or cone), a diameter of a few microns (μm) is typical near the center of the eye. We shall model the eye as a sphere 2.50 cm in diameter with a single thin lens at the front and the retina at the rear, with light receptor cells 5.0 μm in diameter. (a) What is the smallest object you can resolve at a near point of 25 cm? (b) What angle is subtended by this object at the eye? Express your answer in units of minutes (1°=60 min), and compare it with the typical experimental value of about 1.0 min. (Note: There are other limitations, such as the bending of light as it passes through the pupil, but we shall ignore them here.)arrow_forward
