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.

A moth at about eye level is10cmin front of a plane mirror; a man is behind the moth,30cmfrom the mirror. What is the distance between man鈥檚 eyes and the apparent position of the moth鈥檚 image in the mirror?

An object is placed against the center of a thin lens and then moved away from it along the central axis as the image distance is measured. Figure 34-41 gives i versus object distance p out to ps=60cm. What is the image distancewhen p=100cm?

In Fig. 34-52, an object is placed in front of a converging lens at a distance equal to twice the focal length f1of the lens. On the other side of the lens is a concave mirror of focal lengthf2separated from the lens by a distance 2(f1+f2). Light from the object passes rightward through the lens, reflects from the mirror, passes leftward through the lens, and forms a final image of the object. What are (a) the distance between the lens and that final image and (b) the overall lateral magnification M of the object? Is the image (c) real or virtual (if it is virtual, it requires someone looking through the lens toward the mirror), (d) to the left or right of the lens, and (e) inverted or non-inverted relative to the object?

A fruit fly of height H sits in front of lens 1 on the central axis through the lens. The lens forms an image of the fly at a distance d=20cmfrom the fly; the image has the fly鈥檚 orientation and height H1=2.0H. What are (a) the focal lengthf1 of the lens and (b) the object distance p1of the fly? The fly then leaves lens 1 and sits in front of lens 2, which also forms an image at d=20cmthat has the same orientation as the fly, but now H1=0.50H. What are (c) f2and (d) p2?

A simple magnifier of focal length fis placed near the eye of someone whose near point Pn is25cm . An object is positioned so that its image in the magnifier appears atPn. (a) What is the angular magnification of the magnifier? (b) What is the angular magnification if the object is moved so that its image appears at infinity? For f=10cm, evaluate the angular magnifications of (c) the situation in (a) and (d) the situation in (b). (Viewing an image atPnrequires effort by muscles in the eye, whereas viewing an image at infinity requires no such effort for many people.)
