Question

1.) check to see if your data matches our expected value for the focal length of a mirror

2.) explain how virtual images differ from real images. Draw a scenario showing the difference.

3.) a spherical mirror produces an image with a magnification -3. Is this image real or virtual? Is this image inverted or upright? Is this mirror concave or convex? Explain all your answers.

4.) Use our mirror equations to show that for a plane mirror the image distance is equal to the object distance, and the image height is equal to the object height. Also show the image is virtual and upright. (HINT: What is the radius of a plane mirror?)

5.) Explain what happens to the image of an object if we move the object from the center of curvature of the mirror to the focal point. Explain what the image does and how it changes as the object passes through this region.

Answer 1

1) We need the data for this.

2) Real image is formed when the image pass through and diverges from the image point. On the other hand virtual image is formed when the light rays do not pass through the image point but appears to diverge from the image point.
