(a) What is the power of the eyes of a woman who can see an object clearly at a distance of only 8.00 cm? (b) What is the image size of a 1.00-mm object, such as lettering inside a ring, held at this distance? (c) What would the size of the image be if the object were held at the normal 25.0 cm distance?
Derive the following equation for a convex mirror: 1VO1VI=1VF where VO is the distance to the object O from vertex V, VI the distance to the image I from V, and VF is the distance to the focal point F from V. (Hint: use two sets of similar triangles.)
An object is placed 25.0 cm from the surface of a convex mirror and an image is formed. The same object is placed 20.0 cm in front of a plane mirror and. again, an image is formed. Suppose in each ease the object is located at x = 0 and the mirrors lie along the positive x axis. If the images formed in the two mirrors lie at the same x coordinate, determine the radius of curvature of the convex mirror.
