The rearview mirror of a car is a convex mirror (R = -15 m).
Consider the image formed by a car that is 10 m from the
mirror.
A convex mirror means that the mirror has a _positive/ negative_
radius of curvature. So, the center of curvature and
focal length are located on the _same/ opposite_ side of the
mirror as the incident and reflected (outgoing) light.
For a mirror, the focal length is equal to __________ of the
radius...
You are 1.9 m tall and stand 3.6 m from a plane mirror that
extends vertically upward from the floor. On the floor 1.1 m in
front of the mirror is a small table, 0.60 m high. What is the
minimum height (in meters) the mirror must have for you to be able
to see the top of the table in the mirror?
For a convex mirror, when the object is 24.2 cm in front of the
mirror the image is 15.4 cm behind the mirror. If the object is
moved to a distance of 14.5 cm in front of the mirror, determine
the distance of the image behind the mirror (cm)
1. Which of the following can produce infinite
magnification?
(a) convex mirrors and convex lenses
(b) convex mirrors and concave lenses
(c) concave mirrors and concanve lenses
(d) concave mirrors and convex lenses
(e) None. Magnification never approaches infinity
When an object is located very far away from a convex mirror,
the image of the object is 12.0 cm behind the mirror. Using a ray
diagram drawn to scale, determine where the image is located when
the object is placed 6.0 cm in front of the mirror. Note that the
mirror must be drawn to scale also. In your drawing, assume that
the height of the object is 3.0 cm.

A convex mirror has a radius of curvature whose magnitude is 43
cm. The mirror is positioned on a horizontal optical bench with its
front surface at 0 cm. A 13.5 cm long fluorescent lamp oriented
vertically is placed at +90 cm. What is the focal length of the
mirror? Tries 0/5
At what distance from the mirror can we find a sharp image of
the lamp? Tries 0/5
How tall is the image of the lamp? Tries 0/5

A concave mirror (f1 = 14.6 cm) and a convex
mirror (f2 = ?6.70 cm) are facing each other and are
separated by a distance of 34.0 cm. An object is placed between the
mirrors and is 17 cm from each mirror. Consider the light from the
object that reflects first from the concave mirror and then from
the convex mirror. What is the distance of the image
(di2) produced by the convex mirror
