Question

A spherical convex mirror has a radius of 30 cm. An object with a height of 0.30 m is placed 20 cm from the mirror. Note that in +/- sign conventions, f is negative (–) if the mirror is a convex mirror. a. Calculate the image distance. b. Calculate the image height. c. Calculate the magnification. d. Summarize the properties of the image formed in terms of its LOST (location, orientation, size, and type). e. Draw the set-up using graphical methods (ray diagramming). Apply scale drawing. Make sure that your illustration matches well with what you have calculated and presented in a-d.​

Answer 1

a)A spherical convex mirror form the image at image distance is 8.57cm.

b) Mirror forms the image of height is 12.855 cm.

c)The magnification of the spherical convex lens is 0.4285.

What is convex mirror?

The mirror which is a part of sphere with radius R is painted from inside forms the convex mirror.

The focal length of convex lens,  f = R/2

Given , the radius of mirror is R =30cm, the focal length will be

f =30cm/2 = 15cm

a) Object distance u =20 cm, object height =0.30m, then the image distance will be 1/f = 1/u + 1/v where v is the image distance from the lens.

1/15 = 1/20 + 1/v

v= 8.57 cm

Thus, the image distance is 8.57cm.

b) Ratio of image distance to the object distance is equal to the ratio of image height to the object height.

Substitute the values into the expression, we get the image height as

h(image) = 8.57/20 x 30

h(image) = 12.855 cm

Thus, the image height is 12.855 cm.

c) The magnification is the ratio of image height to the object height.

Putting the values, we have

= 12.855/30

= 0.4285

Thus, the magnification is 0.4285.

d) Size of object is large as compared to the size of image. Object distance is small as compared to the image distance. The image formed is virtual.

e)  The setup drawing is attached.
