A statue on a pedestal is placed in a room with flat mirrors on the parallel northern and southern walls, producing an infinite number of images in each mirror. If the walls are 7.55 m apart and the statue is 1.50 m from the northern wall, what are the distances from the statue to the first four images formed in the northern mirror?

first image =?m

second image= ?m

third image=?m

fourth image=?m

Two thin square flat sheets are placed parallel to each other. The distance between the sheets is much smaller than the size of each sheet, so we can consider the sheets infinite. The sheets are uniformly charged, with surface charge densities σ1 and σ2, respectively. The magnitudes and the signs of these charge densities are not known. To determine σ1 and σ2, you measure the electric force on a test point charge q = 2.00 nC at several locations. You...

When two plane mirrors are parallel, such as on opposite walls in a barber shop, multiple images arise because each image in one mirror serves as an object for the other mirror. An object is placed between parallel mirrors separated by 25 cm. The object is 15 cm in front of the left mirror and 10 cm in front of the right mirror. (a) Find the distance from the left mirror to the first four images in that mirror. __cm...

Diffuse ReflectionThe law of reflection is quite useful for mirrors and other flat, shiny surfaces. (This sort of reflection is called specular reflection). However, you've likely been told that when you look at something, you are seeing light reflected from the object that you are looking at. This is reflection of a different sort: diffuse reflection. In this problem, you will see how diffuse reflection actually arises from the same law of reflection that you are accustomed to for  reflections from...

   A flat coil of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field that is in the y direction. (i) The magnetic flux through the coil is maximum if the coil is (a) in the xy plane(b) in either the xy or the yz plane (c) in the xz plane (d) in any orientation, because it is constant. (ii) For what orientation is the flux zero? Choose from the same possibilities.

A person walks into a room that has, on opposite walls, two plane mirrors producing multiple images. Find the distances from the person to the first three images seen in the left-hand mirror, when the person is 9.00 ft from the mirror on the left wall and 10.0 ft from the mirror on the right wall. first image ft second image ft third image ft

Two flat plates of glass with parallel faces are on a table, one plate on the other. Each plate is 11.0 cm long and has a refrac- tive index of 1.55. A very thin sheet of metal foil is inserted under the end of the upper plate to raise it slightly at that end, in a man- ner similar to that discussed in Example 35.4. When you view the glass plates from above with reflected white light, you observe that,...

The three principal rays for converging (concave) mirrors: 1. Any incident ray parallel to the principal axis is reflected through the focal point (which is located at ½ R where R is the distance from the mirrors center (or vertex) to the center of curvature C. 2. Any incident ray which passes through the focal point is reflected parallel to the principal axis. 3. Any incident ray which passes through the mirror’s center of curvature C (i.e. along the radius)...

A coin is placed on a flat turntable, a distance 18.6 cm from the center of rotation. The coefficient of static friction between the turntable and the coin is 0.8. At what maximum angular speed may the turntable be rotating before the force of friction is not able to keep the coin at the same distance from the axis? Hint: if you think a critical piece of information is missing, assign it a letter, and see if it cancels in...

Glycerin flows parallel to a flat plate measuring 2 ft by 2 ft with a velocity of 10 fps. Determine values for the mean convective heat-transfer coefficient and the associated drag force imposed on the plate for glycerin temperatures of 30, 50, and 80F. What heat flux will result, in each case, if the plate temperature is 50F above that of the glycerin?
