Mirror

The +/- Sign Conventions The sign conventions for the given quantities in the mirror equation and magnification equations are as follows: f is + if the mirror is a concave mirror f is - if the mirror is a convex mirror d i is + if the image is a real image and located on the object's side of the mirror. d i is - if the image is a virtual image and located behind the mirror. h i is + if the image is an upright image (and therefore, also virtual) h i is - if the image an inverted image (and therefore, also real)

A 4.0-cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 8.3 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 15.2 cm. Determine the image distance and the image size. 1/f = 1/do + 1/d i 1/(15.2 cm) = 1/(8.3 cm) + 1/d i cm -1 = cm /d i cm -1 = 1/d i 18.3 = = d i h i /h o = - d i /d o h i /(4.0 cm) = - (-18.2 cm)/(8.3 cm) h i = - (4.0 cm) (-18.2 cm)/(8.3 cm) h i = 8.8 cm

Determine the image distance and image height for a 5.00-cm tall object placed 45.0 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 15.0 cm. d i = 22.5 cm and h i = -2.5 cm Use 1/f = 1/d o + 1/d i where f = 15 cm and d o = 45 cm Then use h i / h o = - d i / d o where h o = 5 cm, d o = 45 cm, and d i = 22.5 cm

Determine the image distance and image height for a 5.00-cm tall object placed 30.0 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 15.0 cm. d i = 30.0 cmand h i = cm Use 1 / f = 1 / d o + 1 / d i where f =15 cm and d o = 45 cm Then use h i / h o = - d i / d o where h o = 5 cm, d o = 45 cm, and d i = 30.0 cm

A magnified, inverted image is located a distance of 32.0 cm from a concave mirror with a focal length of 12.0 cm. Determine the object distance and tell whether the image is real or virtual. d i = 19.2 cm and Real Use the equation 1 / f = 1 / d o + 1 / d i where f = 12 cm and d o = 32 cm All inverted images are real images.

An inverted image is magnified by 2 when the object is placed 22 cm in front of a concave mirror. Determine the image distance and the focal length of the mirror. d i = 44 cmand f = 14.7 cm andReal Use the equation 1 / f = 1 / d o + 1 / d i where d o = 22 cm and M = 2 If M=2 and the image is inverted, then the d i must be +44 cm. (It isn't -44 cm since the negative sign would only correspond to an upright and virtual image.) Solve for f one you find d i =+44 cm You know that the image is real if it is described as being upright.
