Chapter 24.2, Problem 1TH
The top view diagrams at right were drawn by a student who is studying image formation by a plane mirror. Each diagram shows the location of an object and two lines of sight to the mirror.
For each diagram, determine whether or not the situation illustrated is possible. If a situation is possible, draw the location and orientation of the mirror.
Explain how you reached your conclusions.

Two flat mirrors make an angle of 90.0° with each other, as diagrammed below. An incoming ray makes an angle of ? = 45° with the normal of mirror A. Use the law of reflection to determine the angle of reflection from mirror B. ° from the normal line of mirror B.
What is unusual about the incoming light for this arrangement of mirrors?
The ray reflected from the second mirror is never parallel to the incoming ray.The ray reflected from the second mirror is always parallel to the incoming ray. There is no reflected ray.

Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. concave convex long short larger smaller real virtual upright inverted in front behind diverge from converge to The spoon is a concave mirror with a smaller focal length. Your face is an object at a distance much larger than the focal length. The spoon reflects rays from your face to form a long inverted image that is virtual of the spoon. The rays do not stop at the image; they converge to the image plane and enter your eye. Thus what your eye is focused on is a virtual image of your face that is inverted (and also reduced in size).

Draw a figure for the situation described in column a and e and construct the appropriate rays graphically. Assume a point object. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)arrow_forwardUse the information from the lecture on the rules for ray tracing to complete the ray tracing for the different situations below. This part is graded on completeness so just try it out even if you feel it is wrong. Notice it is important to not get confused between the rules for lenses and mirrors. 1. Consider a concave mirror. An object is placed at various object distances from the mirror. For each case, use ray tracing to determine the following characteristics of the image: * is it real or virtual? n is it upright or inverted? n is it smaller or bigger than the object (or the same size)? n where is the image located? (approximate location – does not have to be exact) Assume a concave mirror with a focal length of f=5cm. Make sure to use a ruler and follow the ray-tracing rules.
