Manuel is scuba diving near a school of fish at a depth of −9.5 feet relative to sea level. Then he descends to look at a coral reef so that his depth changes by
4/5
of the current value. Find Manuel's depth, relative to sea level, near the coral reef.
The equation connecting s, p, and f for a simple lens can be employed for spherical mirrors, too. A concave mirror with a focal length of 2 cm forms an image of a small object placed 10 cm in front
of the mirror. If the mirror is used to form an image of the same object now located 18 cm in front of the mirror, what would the new image position be? (For spherical mirrors, positive p means the
image is on the same side of the mirror as the object.)
The image will be
cm ---Select--- v the mirror.
Assuming that the magnification equations developed for lenses also apply to mirrors, describe the image (magnitude of magnification and orientation) thus formed.

- You are a detective interviewing someone who says that (while sitting on a porch that you know to be 600ft away) he saw the masked suspect commit the crime in broad daylight. "How do you know it was the suspect?" you ask. "I clearly saw the 'MOM' that is tattooed on his upper arm." "You're sure it was that particular tattoo and not some other tattoo?" "Yes, I'm sure," The witness replies. The suspect's tattoo has letters that are 6cm tall. Is the witness credible, or might he be framing the suspect?

To form a real image that is triple the size of the object on a screen, at what distance in front of the mirror should the object be placed (in m; answer a positive number)?arrow_forwardI need help with part a and b of this question! Thanks! For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 51.0 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 129 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor. (a) Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should make with respect to due west. ANS:____º Since you can read your protractor only so accurately, the mirror is slightly misaligned and the actual angle between the normal to the mirror and due west exceeds the desired amount by 0.003°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor in order to detect the reflected laser light. ANS:_____ marrow_forwardAn object has its image formed 20 cm from a convex mirror.
