Chapter 35, Problem 4P
Two plane mirrors stand facing each other, 3.00 m apart, and a woman stands between them. The woman looks at one of the mirrors from a distance of 1.00 m and holds her left arm out to the side of her body with the palm of her hand facing the closer mirror. (a) What is the apparent position of the closest image of her left hand, measured perpendicularly from the surface of the mirror in front of her? (b) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand? (c) What is the position of the next closest image? (d) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand? (e) What is the position of the third closest image? (f) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand? (g) Which of the images are real and which are virtual?

A man stands in front of a vertical plane mirror, as shown in the figure. His eyes are 1.85 m above the floor and the top of his head is 0.15 m higher than that.
Part (a) Find the height above the floor, in meters, of the bottom edge of the shortest mirror in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. This height is denoted hb in the figure.
Part (b) Find the height above the floor, in meters, of the top edge of the shortest mirror in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. This height is denoted ht in the figure.
Two people stand 5.0 m apart and 3.0 m away from a large plane mirror in a dark room.
At what angle of incidence should one of them shine a flashlight on the mirror so that the reflected beam directly strikes the other person?
A drop of water on a countertop reflects light from a flower held 2.7 cm directly above it. The flower's diameter is 2.0 cm, and the diameter of the flower's image is 0.17 cm. What is the focal length of the water drop, assuming that it may be treated as a convex spherical mirror?
