An object is placed against the center of a spherical mirror and then moved 70 cm from it along the central axis as the image distance i is measured. Figure 34-48 gives i versus object distance p out to ps=40cm. What is the image distance when the object is 70 cm from the mirror?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The image distance is inew=-21cm.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given data

  • Object distance,pgiven=70cm .
  • Horizontal Scale, ps=40cm.
02

Determining the concept

The focal length of the lens is constant for every situation. Using this concept, find the focal length from the graph. Using the value in the equation and the given object distance, find the new image distance.

Formulae are as follows:

1f=1p+1i

Here, p is the pole, f is the focal length, and i is the image distance.

03

Determining the image distance

From the graph, take one point Q having co-ordinate Q15,-10.

So,

1p+1i=1f

115+1-10=1f=1pgiven+1inew

Rearrange for the inew;

1inew=-10+15-10×15-170=-5150-170

Solve for inew;

1inew=-1002100=-21cm

Therefore, the image distance isinew=-21cm .

Figure 34-33 shows an overhead view of a corridor with a plane mirror Mmounted at one end. A burglar Bsneaks along the corridor directly toward the center of the mirror. Ifd=3m, how far from the mirror will she from the mirror when the security guardScan first see her in the mirror?

In Fig. 34-26, stick figure O stands in front of a thin, symmetric lens that is mounted within the boxed region; the central axis through the lens is shown. The four stick figuresI1andI4suggest general locations and orientations for the images that might be produced by the lens. (The figures are only sketched in; neither their height nor their distance from the lens is drawn to scale.) (a) Which of the stick figures could not possibly represent images? Of the possible images, (b) which would be due to a converging lens, (c) which would be due to a diverging lens, (d) which would be virtual, and (e) which would involve negative magnification?
