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.

Sketched below are several objects (the arrows labeled "O") in front of lenses. In each case, carefully redraw the sketch on your whiteboard, and then(a) Draw 3 principal rays leaving the top of the object;(b) Locate the image;(c) State whether the image is real or virtual, inverted or upright, and larger or smaller than the object.
(iv) For diagram #iii, suppose the focal length is 5 cm and the object is placed 7 cm from the lens. Find the exact location and magnification of the image. Does this agree with your expectation from the ray diagram?
Show your illustration:
1. A 1-in object is located at the Center of Curvature. Trace and describe the image that will form in a concave mirror if the distance between C and the mirror is 3 inches.
Analyse the following observation table showing variation of image distance with object distance in case of a convex lens and answer the question that follow without doing any calculations1) What is the focal length of the convex lens? Give reason in support of your answer2) Write the serial number of that observation which is not correct. How did you arrive at this conclusion.3) Take an appropriate scale to draw ray diagram for the observation at S. No. 4 and find the approximate value of the magnification.Class - 10thChapter - Light, reflection and refraction.

- describe how a ray diagram can be used to show the location of an image formed by a concave mirror. Describe the rays that can be used, where they travel before and after striking the mirror, and where the images form.arrow_forwardA concave lens refracts parallel rays in such a way that they are bent away from the axis of the lens. For this reason, a concave lens is referred to as a diverging lens. Part A: Consider the following diagrams, where F represents the focal point of a concave lens. In these diagrams, the image formed by the lens is obtained using the ray tracing technique. Which diagrams are accurate?(Figure 1) *Type A if you think that only diagram A is correct, type AB if you think that only diagrams A and B are correct, and so on. Part B: If the focal length of the concave lens is -7.50 cm , at what distance d_o from the lens should an object be placed so that its image is formed 3.70 cm from the lens?arrow_forwardThe prism in the diagram is being used as a mirror. (a) Construct a ray diagram to indicate how the light entering the prism travels. Show how it reflects off the back face and also where the reflected ray leaves the prism. (b) Is point A, B, C, D, or E most likely to intercept an outgoing ray? (c) The incoming ray hits the back left face of the prism at what angle? (in terms of the normal to the back face) (d) A reflected ray leaves the back left face of the prism at what angle? (e) What is the index of refraction of the prism if the ray experiences total internal reflection when it hits the back face of the prism?arrow_forward

- A beam of light travels vertically downward and strikes a horizontal mirror, reflecting directly back vertically upward, as indicated by the black dashed line in the diagram at left. The mirror is now rotated, so that it is 10° away from horizontal, as is the red mirror in the diagram . The incident solid black ray is the same in both cases. a) At what angle from the vertical will the reflected beam (the red dashed arrow) now be seen? b) If the mirror is further rotated until it is 20° from the horizontal, what will be the new angle between the reflected beam and the vertical?arrow_forwardA beam of light that consists of a mixture of red, green and violet light strikes a prism(surrounded by air) as shown. Indices of refraction for this prism for the various colorsare indicated in the table. An observer is located to the right of the prism as shown. Determine which color(s) could, in principle, be seen by the observer? Carefully show your work/describe your reasoning.arrow_forwardDraw a ray diagram for each of the following, and then draw the image formed. Please provide complete labels in the diagrams, as well as the size, orientation, type, and position of the image. Thank you so much!
