There appears to be anambiguity for the case s = 10cm to whether s′ is andwhether the image is erect or inverted. How is this resolved? Or is it?
Short Answer
Yes, both cases are hold.

One sometimes sees rows of evenly spaced radio antenna towers. A student remarked that these act like diffraction gratings. What did she mean? Why would one want them to act as a diffraction grating?
A very thin soap film (n = 1.33), whose thickness is much less than a wavelength of visible light, looks black; it appears to reflect no light at all. Why? By contrast, an equally thin layer of soapy water (n = 1.33) on glass (n = 1.50) appears quite shiny. Why is there a difference?
When a sheet of plastic food wrap is placed between two crossed polarizers, no light is transmitted. When the sheet is stretched in one direction, some light passes through the crossed polarizers. What is happening?
The glass rod of Exercise 34.22 is immersed in oil(n=1.452). An object placed to the left of the rod on the rod’s axis is to be imaged 1.20 m inside the rod. How far from the left end of the rod must the object be located to form the image?
34.13 Dental Mirror. A dentist uses a curved mirror to view teeth on the upper side of the mouth. Suppose she wants an erect image with a magnification of 2.00 when the mirror is 1.25cm from a tooth. (Treat this problem as though the object and image lie along a straight line.) (a) What kind of mirror (concave or convex) is needed? Use a ray diagram to decide, without performing any calculations. (b) What must be the focal length and radius of curvature of this mirror? (c) Draw a principal-ray diagram to check your answer in part (b).
