Question

1. When you go to a shoe store you can check out the pair of shoes you are trying on in a tilted mirror on the floor. If you were wearing the shoe shown in the picture on the right, which letter best represents where the red buckle on the shoe would appear to be when seen in the mirror? mirror Xc XD 2. In the following diagram, M is a plane mirror; B is a very small bright light bulb that can be treated as a point source of light; and H is an opaque housing that does not transmit light. An observer can stand anywhere along the line labeled O to try to see the image of the light bulb in the mirror. From which of the indicated locations the image of B visible? . I and S IV A. From I and IlIl only. B. From I, IlI, and IV only. C. From I, II, I, and IV D. From I only. E. From Ill only. F. From none of the points 3. Secret agent Maxwell Smart is trailing a man whom he thinks is a member of the international organization of evil, KAOS. At one point in the lobby of a posh hotel, Smart is hiding behind a column, but notices there is a mirror on the opposite wall. He can't see the KAOS agent in the mirror, so he assumes that the agent also can't see him in the mirror. Is Maxwell smart? Or does he need to go back and redo Physics 2? Explain

Explanation / Answer

1)

E is the place where the buckle should most probably be.

2)

A) from I and III only. is the correct option.

3)

According to The Helmholtz reciprocity principle, if light rays from the KAOS agent don't end up in Maxwell's eyes then the reverse is also true. So The KAOS agent cant see him through the mirror atleast. )

4.1)

In geometric optics under paraxial assumptions, focal length of a mirror is half the length of its radius of curvature.

So Charlie is standing in between its radius of curvature and focal point in this situation.

Charile will see himself as taller and upside down.

4.2)

Right now he's at focus of the mirror.

His image will be extremely large, so he'll definitly see himself as taller. But the orientation will be extreamy hard to tell because of the sheer magnification and the size of his image, so we can't tell cant tell the orientation.
