1.) Identical objects are located at the same distance from two spherical mirrors, A and B. The magnifications produced by the mirrors are mA = 3.6 and mB = 2.1. Find the ratio fA/fB of the focal lengths of the mirrors.

2.) A tall tree is growing across a river from you. You would like to know the distance between yourself and the tree, as well as its height, but are unable to make the measurements directly. However, by using a mirror to form an image of the tree and then measuring the image distance and the image height, you can calculate the distance to the tree as well as its height. Suppose that this mirror produces an image of the sun, and the image is located 0.8508 m from the mirror. The same mirror is then used to produce an image of the tree. The image of the tree is 0.9932 m from the mirror. (a) How far away is the tree? (b) The image height of the tree has a magnitude of 0.12 m. How tall is the tree?

Solutions

Expert Solution

EXPLANATION- PART 1- In this part magnification of both images is given it will be positive means image must be virtual and by using mirror formula we have to calculate focal length and then ratio. Mirror is not given in part 1 then we have not exactly say about mirror.

explanation part 2- IN mirror focal length is never positive so we have to calculate both cases about tree image.

There are two identical firms (A and B with the same total market value of equity (MVEt-1 = $20,000), total earnings (Et-1 = $1,000), same discount rate, same earnings persistence, etc. There is only one difference. Firm A has twice the number of shares outstanding (2,000 vs. 1,000) because A declared one 2:1 stock split in the past and B has never split its shares. Thus, B’s earnings per share (EPS) and stock price (P) is twice that of A’s....

Two factories located in different cities, owned by the same organization (ABC Corp), produce the identical product. The product they make is a specialized all-terrain vehicle. In 2002, based on productivity data from a random sample of workers, management felt the average labor productivity of the two plants could be improved. So, both plants underwent identical process improvements through 2003. In 2004, the worker productivity was gauged for both plants using the same set of workers. Factory A Before Factory...
