A millipede sits 1.0min front of the nearest part of the surface of a shiny sphere of diameter 0.70m(a) How far from the surface does the millipede’s image appear? (b) If the millipede’s height is 2.0mm, what is the image height? (c) Is the image inverted?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Distance of image from the surface, i=0.15m
  2. Height of image {H_i} = 0.30m
  3. Nature of image m≤0is upright

Step by step solution

01

Determine the given quantities

Diameter of sphere isD=0.70m

Height of the millipede is Hp=2.0m

Distance ofmillipede isp=1.0m

02

Determine the concepts of optics

As the outer surface of the sphere is shiny, note that it is a convex mirror and using the mirror equation considering the negative focal length, we will get the required answer.

Focal length of the spherical mirror is f=R2as:

1p+1i=1f

Magnificationm=-ip=HiHp

03

(a) Determine the distance of image from the surface 

Diameter of sphere is D=0.70m

Then radius of sphere will be R=0.35m

Focal length of spherical mirror is=R2=0.175

The mirror is convex. Therefore, f=-0.175

1p+1i=1f11.0m+10.175m=-1i-1i=6.7142i≈-0.15m

Distance of image from the surface,i=0.15m

04

(b) Calculate the height of image.

Consider the formula for the magnification as:

m=ip=--1151=0.15

Consider the condition as:

m>0

m=HiHp=Hi2.0

Solve further as:

Hi=0.15×2=0.30m

Height of imageHi=0.30m

05

(c) Determine if the image is inverted or not 

Consider the value of the magnificationm=0.15>0

The image will be upright or not inverted (NI).

32 through 38 37, 38 33, 35 Spherical refracting surfaces. An object Ostands on the central axis of a sphericalrefractingsurface. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-5 refers to the index of refractionn1where the object is located, (a) the index of refraction n2on the other side of the refracting surface, (b) the object distance p, (c) the radius of curvature rof the surface, and (d) the image distance i. (All distances are in centimeters.) Fill in the missing information, including whether the image is (e) real (R)or virtual (V)and (f) on the same side of the surface as object Oor on the opposite side

Figure 34-27 is an overhead view of a mirror maze based on floor sections that are equilateral triangles. Every wall within the maze is mirrored. If you stand at entrance x, (a) which of the maze monsters a, b, and chiding in the maze can you see along the virtual hallways extending from entrance x; (b) how many times does each visible monster appear in a hallway; and (c) what is at the far end of a hallway?

An object is moved along the central axis of a spherical mirror while the lateral magnification m of it is measured. Figure 34-35 gives m versus object distance p for the rangepa=2cm and pb=8.0cm. What is m for p=14cm?

(a) Show that if the object O in Fig. 34-19c is moved from focal point F1toward the observer’s eye, the image moves in from infinity and the angle (and thus the angular magnification mu) increases. (b) If you continue this process, where is the image when mu has its maximum usable value? (You can then still increase, but the image will no longer be clear.) (c) Show that the maximum usable value of ismθ=1+25cmf.(d) Show that in this situation the angular magnification is equal to the lateral magnification.

A point object is 10cmaway from a plane mirror, and the eye of an observer (with pupil diameter5.0mm) is 20cmaway. Assuming the eye and the object to be on the same line perpendicular to the mirror surface, find the area of the mirror used in observing the reflection of the point.
