A convex spherical mirror with a focal length of magnitude 24.0 cm is placed 20.0 cm to the left of a plane mirror. An object 0.250 cm tall is placed midway between the surface of the plane mirror and the vertex of the spherical mirror. The spherical mirror forms multiple images of the object. Where are the two images of the object formed by the spherical mirror that are closest to the spherical mirror, and how tall is each image?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The images are 7.06 cm and -13.3cm from the mirror.

The height of the images are 0.177cm and 0.111cm.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Relationship between object and image distance and height.

Object’s distance is s and image distance is s’.

The relationship is 1s+1s'=1f

Object’s height is y and image height is y’,

Therefore y'=-s'sy

02

Step 2:Calculation of the distance of images from the mirrors.

Image 1.

s=20cm2=10cm

Using the relationship of distance between object and mirror,

s'=sfs-f=10*-2410--24=-7.06cm

Image 2.

The focal length will be the same whereas the distance of the object will become 30cm.

Using the relationship of distance between object and mirror,

s'=sfs-f=30*-2430--24=-13.3cm

03

Calculation of the height of the image.

The height of the object is given as 0.25 cm.

Using the relationship between the height of image and object ,

Image 1.

y'=-s'sy=-(-7.0610)*0.25=0.177cm

Image 2.

y'=-s'sy=-(-13.330)*0.25=0.111cm

Two slits spaced 0.0720mm apart are 0.800m from a screen. Coherent light of wavelength λpasses through the two slits. In their interference pattern on the screen, the distance from the center of the central maximum to the first minimum is 3.00mm . If the intensity at the peak of the central maximum is 0.600W/m2, what is the intensity at points on the screen that are (a) 2.00mm and (b) 1.50mm from the center of the central maximum?

What is the difference between Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction? Are they different physical processes? Explain.

Ordinary Glasses: Ordinary glasses are worn in front of the eye and usually 2.0 cm in front of the eyeball. Suppose that the person in previous exercise prefers ordinary glasses to contact lenses. What focal length lenses are needed to correct his vision, and what is their power in diopters?

The Lens of the Eye: The crystalline lens of the human eye is a double-convex lens made of material having an index of refraction of 1.44 (although this varies). Its focal length in air is about 8.0 mm, which also varies. We shall assume that the radii of curvature of its two surfaces have the same magnitude. (a) Find the radii of curvature of this lens. (b) If an object 16 cm tall is placed 30.0 cm from the eye lens, where would the lens focus it and how tall would the image be? Is this image real or virtual? Is it erect or inverted? (Note: The results obtained here are not strictly accurate because the lens is embedded in fluids having refractive indexes different from that of air.)

A uniform film of TiO2 , 1036 nm thick and having index of refraction 2.62, is spread uniformly over the surface of crown glass of refractive index 1.52. Light of wavelength 520.0 nm falls at normal incidence onto the film from air. You want to increase the thickness of this film so that the reflected light cancels.

(a) What is the minimumthickness of TiO2 that you must addso the reflected light cancels as desired?

(b) After you make the adjustment in part (a), what is the path difference between the light reflected off the top of the film and the light that cancels it after traveling through the film? Express your answer in (i) nanometers and (ii) wavelengths of the light in the TiO2 film.
