PROBLEM SET.

MIRRORS
1. Two vertical plane mirrors are 5m apart and are facing each other. If
you are 2m from one mirror and is facing the said mirror, how far from
your position is the 3rd image formed by this mirror?
2. An object is placed 5.00 m from a wall. You are to use a mirror to
project an image of the object on the wall. The image must be 4 times
as large as the object. (a) How far from the wall must the mirror be
placed? (b) What is the focal length of the mirror?
3. A convex mirror of focal length 30.0 cm is placed 20.0 cm to the left of
a plane mirror. An object 10.0 cm tall is placed midway between the
two mirrors. Determine the location and height of the first four images
formed by the convex mirror.
4. An object is placed at a certain distance from a mirror of focal length
20.0 cm and an erect image 4 times the size of the object is formed.
Where is the object located relative to the mirror?
5. An object is placed 45 cm in front and to the right of a converging mirror
of focal length 30.0 cm. An identical converging mirror is placed 100
cm to the right of the first. (a) What are the nature, orientation,
location, and magnification of the image formed by the second mirror
(using the first image as the object). Consider the light rays striking
mirror 1 first.
6. An object is placed 45 cm in front and to the right of a converging mirror
of focal length 30.0 cm. An identical converging mirror is placed 80 cm
to the right of the first. What are the nature, orientation, location, and
magnification of the image formed by the second mirror (using the first
image as the object). Consider the light rays striking mirror 1 first.
7. A concave mirror of focal length 15.0 cm is at x = 0. An object is placed
at x = 20.0 cm. A convex mirror of focal length 15.0 cm is at x =
90.0 cm. Consider that light rays from the object strike the concave
mirror first. Using the image formed by the concave mirror as the
object, determine the location and magnification of the image formed
by the convex mirror.
8. A concave mirror of focal length 15.0 cm is at x = 0. An object is
placed at x = 20.0 cm. A convex mirror of focal length 15.0 cm is at
x = 50.0 cm. Consider that light rays from the object strike the concave
mirror first. Using the image formed by the concave mirror as the
object, Determine the location and magnification of the final image
(formed by the convex mirror).
