When a T. rex pursues a jeep in the movie Jurassic Park, we see a reflected image of the T. rex via a side-view mirror, on which is printed the (then darkly humorous) warning: 鈥淥bjects in mirror are closer than they appear.鈥 Is the mirror flat, convex, or concave?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mirror is convex.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The image of T-rex is seen in the side-view mirror on which the warning is printed: 鈥淥bjects in the mirror are closer than they appear.鈥

02

Understanding the concept of optical image

Using the characteristics of the image formed due to a convex mirror, we can find whether the mirror is flat, convex, or concave.

03

Step 3: Calculation of the type of the mirror

The image formed due to a convex mirror is small, erect, and close. Since the objects in that mirror are closer than they appear, that mirror is convex.

In Fig. 34-26, stick figure Ostands in front of a spherical mirrorthat is mounted within the boxed region;the central axis through themirror is shown. The four stick figures I1to I4suggest general locationsand orientations for the images that might be produced by themirror. (The figures are onlysketched in; neither their heightsnor their distances from the mirror are drawn to scale.) (a) Whichof the stick figures could not possibly represent images? Of thepossible images, (b) which would be due to a concave mirror, (c)which would be due to a convex mirror, (d) which would be virtual,and (e) which would involve negative magnification?

In Fig. 34-38, a beam of parallel light rays from a laser is incident on a solid transparent sphere of an index of refraction n. (a) If a point image is produced at the back of the sphere, what is the index of refraction of the sphere? (b) What index of refraction, if any, will produce a point image at the center of the sphere?

An object is moved along the central axis of a thin lens while the lateral magnification m is measured. Figure 34-43 gives m versus object distance p out to ps. What is the magnification of the object when the object is p=14 cmfrom the lens?

Figure 34-40 gives the lateral magnification of an object versus the object distancefrom a lens asthe object is moved along the central axis of the lens through a range of values for p out to ps=20.0cm. What is the magnification of the objectwhen the object is 35cmfrom the lens?

In Fig. 34-60, a sand grain is 3.00cmfrom thin lens 1, on the central axis through the two symmetric lenses. The distance between focal point and lens is 4.00cmfor both lenses; the lenses are separated by 8.00cm. (a) What is the distance between lens 2 and the image it produces of the sand grain? Is that image (b) to the left or right of lens 2, (c) real or virtual, and (d) inverted relative to the sand grain or not inverted?
