A concave mirror has a 40cmradius of curvature. How far from the mirror must an object be placed to create an upright image three times the height of the object?

Short Answer

Expert verified

An object is placed at 13.3cmaway from the concave mirror.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given,

Radius of curvature= 40cm

Height of the image= 3×Heightoftheobject

We have to find the distance of the object from the mirror.

02

Simplify

We know Magnification of mirror

m=HeightoftheimageHeightoftheobject=h'hm=-imagedistanceobjectdistance=-vum=3=-vuv=-3u

Using mirror equation

1f=1v+1u2R=1-3u+1u240=23uu=403=13.3cm

A 20-cm-tall object is 40cmin front of a converging lens that has a20cm focal length.
a Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. To do this accurately, use a ruler or paper with a grid. Determine the image distance and image height by making measurements on your diagram.
bCalculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a.

An object is 30cmin front of a converging lens with a focal length of 5cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the image. Is the image upright or inverted?

A concave mirror brings the sun's rays to a focus in front of the mirror. Suppose the mirror is submerged in a swimming pool but still pointed up at the sun. Will the sun's rays be focused nearer to, farther from, or at the same distance from the mirror? Explain.

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers. To acquire data from memory, the central processing unit sends a light-pulse request to the memory unit. The memory unit processes the request, then sends a data pulse back to the central processing unit. The memory unit takes 0.5ns to process a request. If the information has to be obtained from memory in 2.0ns, what is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

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.
