Get started for freeThe place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors m apart. As you sit in the chair, your head is m from the nearer mirror. Looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (The mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.) How far away does the back of your head appear to be? Neglect the thickness of your head
Find the focal length of the meniscus polystyrene plastic lens in FIGURE .
A concave mirror brings the sun's rays to a focus in front of the mirror. Suppose the mirror is submerged in a swimming pool but still pointed up at the sun. Will the sun's rays be focused nearer to, farther from, or at the same distance from the mirror? Explain.
An object is in front of a converging lens with a focal length of . Use ray tracing to determine the location of the image. Is the image upright or inverted?
To determine the focal length of a lens, you place the lens in front of a small lightbulb and then adjust a viewing screen to get a sharply focused image. Varying the lens position produces the following data:
Use the best-fit line of an appropriate graph to determine the focal length of the lens.
