2. Hold a shiny spoon in front of you. What differences do you notice about the image of your face seen in the convex and concave sides? 3. Where are the images formed by each side of the spoon? In front or behind the spoon? (Try the parallax method. Look at the image of an overhead light. Hold the tip of a pencil where you think the image is. Move your head from side to side. If the image and pencil tip appear to move relative to each other, adjust the position of the pencil back and forth until they appear to move as one.)

People who do very detailed work close up, such as jewellers, often can see objects clearly at much closer distance than the normal 25 cm. (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 1J1e size of an image of a 1.00 mm object, such as lettering inside a ring, held at this distance?

Suppose you want to use a converging lens to project the image of two trees onto a screen. As show n in Figure CQ36.9, one tree is a distance x from the lens and the other is at 2x. You adjust the screen so that the near tree is in locus. It you now want the far tree to be in focus, do you move the screen toward or away from the lens?
A goldfish is swimming at 2.00 cm/s toward the front of a rectangular aquarium. What is the apparent speed of the fish measured by an observer looking in from outside the front wall of the tank?
Determine the minimum height of a vertical flat mirror in which a person 178 cm tall can see his or her full image. Suggestion: Drawing a ray diagram would be helpful.
What are the differences between real and virtual images? How can you tell (by looking) whether an image formed by a single lens or mirror is real or virtual?
A jellyfish is floating in a water-filled aquarium 1.00 m behind a flat pane of glass 6.00 cm thick and having an index of refraction of 1.50. (a) Where is the image of the jellyfish located? (b) Repeat the problem when the glass is so thin that its thickness can be neglected. (c) How does the thickness of the glass affect the answer to part (a)?
Where would an observer see the image of the arrow shown in Fig. 7.39? (Draw in the image the observer would see.) Figure 7.39 Reflection and Image See Short Answer Question 5.
You hold a 5.0 cm-focal length magnifying glass as close as possible to your eye. If you have a normal near point, what is the magnification?
Suppose a man stands in front of a mirror as shown in Figure 25.50. His eyes are 1.65 m above the floor, and the top of his head is 0.13 m higher. Find the height above the floor of the top and bottom of the smallest mirror in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. How is this distance related to the man’s height? Figure 25.50 A full-length mirror is one in which you can see all of yourself. It need not be as big as you, and its size is independent of your distance from it.
A doctor examines a mole with a 15.0 cm focal length magnifying glass held 13.5 cm from the mole (a) Where is the image? (b) What is its magnification? (c) How big is file image of a 5.00 mm diameter mole?
A biology student uses a simple magnifier to examine the structural features of an insects wing. The wing is held 3.50 cm in front of the lens, and the image is formed 25.0 cm from the eye. (a) What is the focal length of the lens? (b) What angular magnification is achieved?
