Concept explainers
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) 12.0 cm (b) 20.0 cm (c) 70.0 cm (d) 90.0 cm (e) none of those answersarrow_forwardTwo plane mirrors stand facing each other, 2.87 m apart, and a woman stands between them. The woman faces one of the mirrors from a distance of 1.24 m and holds her left arm out to the side of her body with the back of her hand facing the closer mirror. (a) What is the apparent position of the closest image f her left hand, measured perpendicularly from the surface of the mirror in front of her? Im behind the nearest mirror (b) Does show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand? O back O palm (c) What is the position of the next closest image? m behind the nearest mirror (d) Does show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand? back palm (e) What is the position of the third closest image? m behind the nearest mirror (f) Does it show the palm of her hand or the back of her hand? Ⓒ back O palm (g) Which of the images are real and which are virtual? (Select all that apply.) the closest image is real the second closest image is real the third closest image is real the closest image…arrow_forwardA boy is standing 1.2 m in front of a plane mirror. His dog is 0.5 m directly in front of him. (a) How far is the boy from his image? (b) How far is the image of dog from the boy?arrow_forward
- A woman stands 1.45 m in front of a full-length flat mirror. Find the position of her image, with proper sign, the magnification of her image, and whether it is real or virtual. (a) the position of her image m (b) the magnification of her image (c) whether it is real or virtual real virtual Need Help? Read Itarrow_forwardA man holds a double-sided spherical mirror so that he is looking directly into its convex surface, 57 cm from his face. The magnification of the image of his face is +0.11. What will be the image distance when he reverses the mirror (looking into its concave surface), maintaining the same distance between the mirror and his face? Be sure to include the algebraic sign (+ or -) with your answer.arrow_forwardAn object 1.5 cm high is held 3.25 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.169 cm high. Part (b) What is the image distance in cm? Part (c) Find the radius of curvature in cm of the convex mirror formed by the cornea.arrow_forward
- An object is located 14.0 cm in front of a convex mirror, theimage being 7.00 cm behind the mirror. A second object, twice as tall asthe first one, is placed in front of the mirror, but at a different location.The image of this second object has the same height as the other image.How far in front of the mirror is the second object located?arrow_forwardAt a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 8.8 ft apart. You stand 2.6 ft from one mirror and face it. You see an infinite number of reflections of your front and back.(a) How far from you is the first "back" image?arrow_forwardA mirror on the passenger side of your car is convex and has a radius of curvature with magnitude 18.0 cm. (a) Another car is behind your car, 9.00 m from the mirror, and this car is viewed in the mirror by your passenger. If this car is 1.5 m tall, what is the height of the image? (b) The mirror has a warning attached that objects viewed in it are closer than they appear. Why is this so?arrow_forward
- An object 3.4 mm tall is placed 25 cm from the vertex of a convex spherical mirror. The radius of curvature of the mirror has magnitude 73 cm. (a) How far (in cm) is the image from the vertex of the mirror?arrow_forwardA 2.0-cm-high object is situated 15.0 cm in front of a concavemirror that has a radius of curvature of 10.0 cm. Using a ray diagramdrawn to scale, measure (a) the location and (b) the height of the image.The mirror must be drawn to scale.arrow_forwardA small teddy bear is placed in front of an automobile headlight reflector instead of Christmas ball. The teddy bear is located 12.0[cm] away from the vertex point of the reflector. The radius of curvature of the reflector is the same as the previous item. What is the distance, size, orientation and nature of the image formed?arrow_forward
