Chapter 34: Q. 39 (page 991)

An object is 12cmin front of a concave mirror with a focal length of 20cm. Use ray tracing to locate the image. Is the image upright or inverted?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The picture is 30cmbehind the mirror, upright, and at a distance of 30cm.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Principles:

Ray 1is reflected via the focus point and drawn parallel to the optical axis.

Ray 2is reflected parallel to the optical axis after passing past the focus point (or as if emanating from the focal point if s<f).

Ray 3passes through the mirror's centre and reflects at an angle of similar magnitude on the opposite side of the optical axis.

02

Step: 2 Datas:

The data's are,

Concave mirror

Distance object to mirror is s=12cm.

Focal length is f=20cm.

03

Step: 3 Tracing:

The ray-tracing diagram is shown in Figure. A scale is placed on the optical axis. The focal point of the mirror is drawn and noted. With its base on the optical axis, the item is represented as an arrow. The three specific rays specified in the Concepts and Principles section are drawn from the tip of the arrow. The image's tip is the spot where the three rays converge.

Suppose you have two pinhole cameras. The first has a small round hole in the front. The second is identical except it has a square hole of the same area as the round hole in the first camera. Would the pictures taken by these two cameras, under the same conditions, be different in any obvious way? Explain.

A 1.0-cm-tall candle flame is 60cmfrom a lens with a focal length of 20cm. What are the image distance and the height of the flame's image?

3. One problem with using optical fibers for communication is that a light ray passing directly down the center of the fiber takes less time to travel from one end to the other than a ray taking a longer, zig-zag path. Thus light rays starting at the same time but traveling in slightly different directions reach the end of the fiber at different times. This problem can be solved by making the refractive index of the glass change gradually from a higher value in the center to a lower value near the edges of the fiber. Explain how this reduces the difference in travel times.

A 25 g rubber ball is dropped from a height of 3.0 m above the center of a horizontal, concave mirror. The ball and its image coincide 0.65 s after the ball is released. What is the mirror鈥檚 radius of curvature?

A lens placed 10cmin front of an object creates an upright image twice the height of the object. The lens is then moved along the optical axis until it creates an inverted image twice the height of the object. How far did the lens move?
