Question

4. 4.16 points SerPSE9 36.P014. A dentist uses a spherical mirror to examlne a tooth. The tooth is 1.30 cm In front of the mlrror, and the Image is formed 10.3 cm behind the mirror. (a) Determine the mirror's radius of curvature cm (b) Determine the magnlficatlon of the Image Need Help? Read t 5. 14.16 points SerPSE9 36.P.031 The top of a swlmming pool ls at ground level. Ir the pool is 2.36 m deep, how far below ground level does the bottom of the pool appear to be located for the following conditlons? (a) The pool is completely filled with water. m below ground level (b) The pool is filled halfway with water. m below ground level

Explanation / Answer

a) let the radius of curvature is r

di = -10.3 cm

do = 1.30 cm

Using mirror formula

2/r = -1/10.3 + 1/1.30

solving for r

r = 2.97 cm

the radius of curvature is 2.97 cm

b)

magnification of image = - di/do

magnification of image = 10.3/1.30

magnification of image = 7.92
