Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given data:

The magnification, m=-0.50.

The object’s distance, p=+60cm.

02

Determining the concept:

The properties of mirror can be used to find the type of mirror. Magnification and object distance can be used to find image distance and focal length, and from focal length, radius of curvature can be found. And from image distance, it is identify whether image is inverted or not.

Formulae:

The radius of curvature is,

r=2f

The spherical mirror equation is,

1f=1i+1p

The magnification is,

m=-ip

Here, ris the radius of curvature, fis the focal length, pis the object distance from mirror, and iis the image distance.

03

(a) Determining the type of mirror:

As magnification ratio is less than zero and negative, it means image is smaller than object. Hence, mirror is concave type.

04

(b) Determining the Focal length:

Use following formula to find focal length as,

m=-ipi=-mp

i=--0.5×+60=+30cm,

Now focal length is as follows,

1f=1i+1p,

1f=1+30cm+1+60cm=0.033cm-1+0.0167cm-1=0.0497cm-1

f=10.0497cm-1=20.12cm20 cm

Hence, the focal length is 20 cm.

05

(c) Determining the Radius of curvature:

Use the following formula to find the radius of curvature,

r=2×f=2×20cm=40cm

Hence, the radius of curvature of the spherical mirror is 40 cm.

06

(d) Determining the Object distance:

Object distance isp=+60cm as given in table.

07

(e) Determining the Image distance:

According to part (b) the image distance is i=+30cm.

08

(f) Determining the Magnification ratio:

Magnification ratio is mis -0.50as given in the table.

09

(g) Determining whether the image is virtual or real:

Since image distance is positive, image is real.

10

(h) Determining whether the image is inverted or not inverted:

As magnification is negative so image is inverted.

11

(i) Determining the position of the image:

An image is formed on same side of mirror from the object.

Two plane mirrors are placed parallel to each other and 40cmapart. An object is placed 10cmfrom one mirror. Determine the (a) smallest, (b) second smallest, (c) third smallest (occurs twice), and (d) fourth smallest distance between the object and image of the object.

9, 11, 13 Spherical mirrors. Object Ostands on the central axis of a spherical mirror. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-3 gives object distance ps (centimeters), the type of mirror, and then the distance (centimeters, without proper sign) between the focal point and the mirror. Find (a) the radius of curvature r (including sign), (b) the image distance i, and (c) the lateral magnification m. Also, determine whether the image is (d) real (R) or virtual (V), (e) inverted (I) from objectO or non-inverted (NI), and (f) on the same side of the mirror asO or on the opposite side.

For this situation, each problem in Table 34-5 refers to the index of refractionn1where the object is located, (a) the index of refraction n2on the other side of the refracting surface, (b) the object distance p, (c) the radius of curvature rof the surface, and (d) the image distance i. (All distances are in centimeters.) Fill in the missing information, including whether the image is (e) real (R)or virtual (V)and (f) on the same side of the surface as object Oor on the opposite side

Figure 34-47a shows the basic structure of the human eye. Light refracts into the eye through the cornea and is then further redirected by a lens whose shape (and thus ability to focus the light) is controlled by muscles. We can treat the cornea and eye lens as a single effective thin lens (Fig. 34-47b). A “normal” eye can focus parallel light rays from a distant object O to a point on the retina at the back of the eye, where the processing of the visual information begins. As an object is brought close to the eye, however, the muscles must change the shape of the lens so that rays form an inverted real image on the retina (Fig. 34-47c). (a) Suppose that for the parallel rays of Figs. 34-47a and b, the focal length fof the effective thin lens of the eye is 2.50 cm. For an object at distance p = 40 cm, what focal length f of the effective lens is required for the object to be seen clearly? (b) Must the eye muscles increase or decrease the radii of curvature of the eye lens to give focal length f?
