Exercise 31
Step 1
1 of 1
There are two types of surface interesting for us, a smooth surface, and a rough surface. The smoothness and roughness of a surface are relative to the wavelength of the light. Depending on the type of surface, we also have two types of reflection. When light falls on the smooth surface, like a mirror, the specular reflection occurs. The specular reflection is when all rays of light that are reflected are parallel to each other. We can see this type of reflection in Figure 17-3a, and Figure 17-3b.

Another type of reflection is diffuse reflection. This type of reflection occurs when the surface is rough relative to the wavelength of light. In this case, the incident rays of light are parallel to each other, but they reflect at different angles because they fall on the different parts of the surface. We can say, the light is scattered off a rough surface. Also, we can see this type of reflection in Figure 17-3c, and Figure 17-3d.

Exercise 32
Step 1
1 of 3
The phrase “normal to the surface” frequently occurs in Optics. To understand this phase, we are going to observe a simpler case first, the plane mirror (or any plane surface). The normal is a line that is perpendicular to the part of the surface, where it crosses the surface. So, the angle between the surface and the normal is $90 text{textdegree}$. This is also applied to the curved surface. But, for curved surfaces, the normal lines are not parallel to each other, while for a plane surface the normal lines are parallel to each other. We can see both cases in the diagram below.

The normal line is a line perpendicular to the surface.
Exercise 33
Step 1
1 of 3
To find where is the image produced, we are going to use the mirror equation $frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}= frac{1}{f}$ where $d_{o}$ is the position of the object, $d_{i}$ is the position of the image, and $f$ is the focal length. We know that the plane mirror is just a special case of a curved mirror. The plane mirror has radius of $infty$. We also know that te relation between the focal length and the radius is $2f=R$. So, we can write

$$
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f} &= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}\
frac{2}{R} &= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}\
frac{2}{ infty} &= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}\
0 &= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}\
frac{1}{d_{o}}&= – frac{1}{d_{i}}\
d_{i} &= – d_{o}
end{align*}
$$

The position of the object is always real (greater than zero), so the position of the image is lesser than zero. So, the image is always virtual (behind the mirror), and at the same distance from the mirror as the object. We can see this in the diagram below.

Step 2

Result
3 of 3
The image is behind the mirror (virtual), and has the same distance from the mirror as the object.
Exercise 34
Step 1
1 of 1
Any plane surface which is smooth enough to create specular reflection, can act as a plane mirror.

A plane mirror always produces a virtual, upright image behind the mirror.

Magnification of the image produced by plane mirror is always 1, that means image has the same size as that of the object

Distance of image from the mirror is same the object’s distance from mirror

Exercise 35
Step 1
1 of 1
By definition of a virtual image, the reflected rays do not meet to create an image. Instead, the reflected rays appear to intersect behind the mirror.

So NO image will be formed and the student will not get anything on the screen.

Exercise 36
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 1
We can put very sensitive photographic film at the **location of a virtual image**. If no image is formed on the film, we know that the rays did not intersect at that location and that image is **not virtual, but real**.
Step 1
1 of 1
Place a screen at the image location.

If the image is real, it will appear on the screen.

If you guess the image location approximately, the image will appear on the screen, but it will be less clear.

Exercise 37
Step 1
1 of 2
We know that for a concave mirror, the focal length is greater than zero, $f>0$. If the image is virtual that means the position of the image is lesser than zero, $d_{i}<0$. In this calculation, we are going to use the mirror equation $frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}= frac{1}{f}$ Now, we can write

$$
begin{align*}
d_{i}&<0\
frac{1}{d_{i}}&<0 / + frac{1}{d_{o}}\
frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}} &< frac{1}{d_{o}}\
frac{1}{f}&< frac{1}{d_{o}} \
d_{o}&<f
end{align*}
$$

From the previous calculation, we can see that the image is virtual in the case of a concave mirror, only when the position of the object is lesser than the focal length.

Result
2 of 2
The object should be positioned between the mirror and the focal point.
Exercise 38
Step 1
1 of 1
Rays parallel to the axis that strike the outer edges of the spherical mirror do not pass through the focus. Because of this concave mirrors with large apertures create a blurred image.

This defect is called spherical aberration.

This defect can be minimized by covering the outer edges of the concave mirror

Exercise 39
Step 1
1 of 1
$$
text{Mirror Formula : }dfrac{1}{f}=dfrac{1}{d_o}+dfrac{1}{d_i}
$$

Where $f$ is the focal length, it is negative for convex mirror and positive for concave mirror

$d_o$ is distance of object from mirror, It is always positive for real objects

$d_i$ is the distance of image from mirror, it is negative for virtual images and positive for real images

Exercise 40
Step 1
1 of 2
The length between the center of curvature and the mirror is called the radius, $r$. The focal point is always halfway between the center of curvature and the mirror. The length between the mirror and the focal point is called focal length, $f$. From this, we know that the radius is two times greater than the focal length $r=2f$
Result

$$
r=2f

Exercise 41
Solution 1

Step 1
1 of 1
$$
text{Magnification} = -dfrac{d_i}{d_o}
$$

If the magnification is negative, it means that the image is inverted

Step 1
1 of 1
The definition of magnification is negative image distance from the mirror $-d_i$ over the distance of the object from the mirror $d_o$:

$$begin{align}
mathrm{Magnification}=dfrac{-d_i}{d_o}
end{align}$$

Exercise 42
Step 1
1 of 1
Images produced by convex mirrors are always upright and virtual.

Note that : Only virtual images can be seen inside a mirror, for a real image you need to place an additional screen at the position of the image (which keeps changing as the object keeps moving !)

On the other hand concave mirrors produce inverted and real images if the object is outside the focal length.

Convex mirrors are used over plane mirrors, because Convex mirrors allow drivers to see more. They provide a greater field of view by scaling down the objects they reflect.

Exercise 43
Step 1
1 of 1
Recall that :
$$
dfrac{1}{d_o}+dfrac{1}{d_i}=dfrac{1}{f}
$$

Therefore
$$
dfrac{1}{d_i}=dfrac{1}{f}-dfrac{1}{d_o}
$$

We know that $d_o$ is always positive for real objects

We also know that $f$ is negative for convex mirrors

Therefore RHS is negative, which makes $d_i$ negative

Which means that the image is formed behind the mirror

Remember that: Only virtual images can be formed behind the mirror. Real images cannot be formed behind the mirror, It is because Light rays cannot meet behind the mirror

This proves that a convex mirror can only produce virtual images

Exercise 44
Step 1
1 of 2
We have already learned about the types of reflection, diffuse reflection, and specular reflection. The diffuse reflection is a reflection of light on the rough surface, and the specular reflection is a reflection of light on the smooth surface. We can apply this to our problem with the road. So, if the road is dry, we can say, it is a rough surface, so the reflection will be a diffuse reflection. Some of the light, that falls on the dry road, will reflect back to us. That is because the light scatters on the rough surface.

The wet road is the more specular reflector, and in that case, reflected rays are parallel to each other. So, only a small percent of the light rays will come back to us, and the wet road would appear black to us.

Result
2 of 2
The light scatters more on the dry road.
Exercise 45
Step 1
1 of 1
Rough surfaces create diffuse reflection. That means light is reflected in all directions, which allows the reader to read from any direction.

Whereas smooth and glossy surfaces produce specular reflection which causes glare, which means not ideal for reading

Exercise 48
Step 1
1 of 2
I should order a parabolic mirror, because parabolic mirrors do not have spherical aberration.
Step 2
2 of 2
Rays parallel to the axis that strike the outer edges of the spherical mirror do not pass through the focus. Because of this concave mirrors with large apertures create a blurred image.

This defect is called spherical aberration.

Exercise 50
Step 1
1 of 1
Convex mirrors do not produce real images.

Concave mirrors produce a real image only if the object is beyond the focal point.

Exercise 51
Step 1
1 of 3
We need to determine all possible arrangments of spherical mirror that would give us an image smaller than the object.
Step 2
2 of 3
Convex mirror is shaped in a way that no matter where the object is positioned, the image produced will always be smaller than the object.
Step 3
3 of 3
Concave mirrors have a certain breaking point when it comes to magnification.
If the object is positioned on the center of curvature of the mirror, magnification will be $M=1$.
In order to achieve a smaller image, the object needs to be positioned **further** from the image than the **center of curvature**.
Exercise 52
Step 1
1 of 2
Convex mirrors are used as rearview mirrors for cars
Step 2
2 of 2
It is because images produced by convex mirrors are always upright and virtual.

Note that : Only virtual images can be seen inside a mirror, for a real image you need to place an additional screen at the position of the image (which keeps changing as the object keeps moving !)

On the other hand concave mirrors produce inverted and real images if the object is outside the focal length.

Convex mirrors are used over plane mirrors, because Convex mirrors allow drivers to see more. They provide a greater field of view by scaling down the objects they reflect.

We know that the incident ray is at an angle of $53 textdegree$ with the normal. To solve this problem, we are going to use the Law of Reflection [ theta_{i}= theta_{r}]
$a)$ If the angle of incidence is $ theta_{i}=53 textdegree$ , then the reflected angle is
begin{align*}
theta_{i}&= theta_{r}\
theta_{r}&=53 textdegree
end{align*}
The reflected angle is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore theta_{r}=53 textdegree $}]
\
$b)$ From the diagram below, we can see that the angle between the ray of incidence and the reflected ray is a sum of angles $ theta_{i}$ and $ theta_{r}$. So, we can write this as
begin{align*}
theta &= theta_{i}+ theta_{r}\
theta&= 53 textdegree +53 textdegree \
theta&= 106 textdegree
end{align*}
The angle between the incident and the reflected ray is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore theta=106 textdegree $}]

Exercise 55
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 6
Light ray enters the mirror at an angle of $alpha=36^o$ with the mirror. We need to determine the angle between an incident ray and reflected ray.
Step 2
2 of 6
First we need to calculate the angle of incidence using simple geometry.
The angle of incidence is an angle between **normal** of the plane and the ray, which means that the angle of incidence $theta_i$ and the angle between the ray and **mirror** $alpha=36^o$ sum to an angle of $90^o$:
$$alpha + theta_i=90^o$$

Step 3
3 of 6
From the previous equation we can get $theta_i$:
$$theta_i=90-alpha$$
$$theta_i=90-36$$
$$theta_i=54^o$$
Step 4
4 of 6
The angle of incidence and reflection are equal:
$$theta_i=theta_r$$
Which means that:
$$theta_r=54^o$$
Step 5
5 of 6
Finally, the angle between them is equal to their sum since they are both measured from the normal, but on opposite sides:
$$theta=theta_i+theta_r$$
$$theta=54+54$$
$$boxed{theta=108^o}$$
Result
6 of 6
$$theta=108^o$$
Step 1
1 of 3
We know that the angle between the incident ray and the mirror (plane surface) is $alpha = 36 textdegree$. Also, we are going to use the Law of Reflection [ theta_{i}= theta_{r}] and the fact that the normal is perpendicular to the surface (plane mirror). First, we are going to calculate the angle of incidence
begin{align*}
theta_{i}+ alpha &= 90 textdegree\
theta_{i}&= 90 textdegree – alpha \
theta_{i}&= 90 textdegree – 36 textdegree \
theta_{i}&= 54 textdegree
end{align*}
Now, from the Law of Reflection, we know that the angle of reflection is the same as the angle of incidence [ theta_{r}= 54 textdegree]
So, now we have everything to calculate the angle between the incident and the reflected ray $theta$. We can write
begin{align*}
theta &= theta_{i}+ theta_{r}\
theta&= 54 textdegree +54 textdegree \
theta&= 108 textdegree
end{align*}
The angle between the incident and the reflected ray is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore theta=108 textdegree $}]

Step 2

Therefore the image is formed 1.2 m behind the mirror.

Distance between image and the camera is $1.2+1.2 = 2.4$ m

So the camera lens must be focused at 2.4 m

Exercise 57
Step 1

$a)$ In Figure 17-19, and also in the diagram below, we can see how light falls on the first mirror. To find the angle of reflection from the second mirror, we use the Law of Reflection and the geometric properties of the triangle. First, from the Law of Reflection we know [ theta_{i1}= theta_{r1}] where the angle of incidence is $ theta_{i1}=30 textdegree$, then the reflected angle from the first mirror is [ theta_{r1}=30 textdegree] To find the angle $ theta_{i2}$, first we need to find angles $ alpha $ and $ beta$. We can find from the property of a triangle that the sum of the angles in a triangle is $180 textdegree$. Also, the angle $ alpha$, we can calculate as
begin{align*}
theta_{r1}+ alpha &= 90 textdegree\
alpha&= 90 textdegree – theta_{r1}\
alpha&= 90 textdegree – 30 textdegree\
alpha&= 60 textdegree
end{align*}
Now, we can calculate $ beta$
begin{align*}
alpha + beta + 90 textdegree &= 180 textdegree \
alpha + beta &=90 textdegree\
beta &= 90 textdegree – alpha \
beta&= 90 textdegree – 60 textdegree \
beta&= 30 textdegree
end{align*}
In the same way as we calculated the angle $ alpha$, we can calculate the angle of incidence on the second mirror
begin{align*}
theta_{i2}+ beta &= 90 textdegree\
theta_{i2} &= 90 textdegree -beta \
theta_{i2} &= 90 textdegree – 30 textdegree \
theta_{i2} &= 60 textdegree
end{align*}
Again, we use the Law of Reflection to find the angle of reflection [ theta_{i2}= theta_{r2}]
So, the angle of reflection from the second mirror is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore theta_{r2}=60 textdegree $}]
Step 2

Exercise scan
Step 3

$b)$ This is only a special case from part $a)$, when the angle $theta_{i1}$ is the same as $theta_{r2}$. In the same manner as before, we can find these angles. First, from the Law of Reflection we know

$$
begin{align*}
theta_{i1}&= theta_{r1}\
theta_{i2}&= theta_{r2}\
end{align*}
$$

So, we can say, they have the same value $theta_{i1}= theta_{r1}= theta_{i2}= theta_{r2} = theta$. Now, we can calculate the angles $alpha$ and $beta$

$$
begin{align*}
theta+ alpha &= 90 text{textdegree}\
alpha&= 90 text{textdegree} – theta\
end{align*}
$$

Also, we know that

$$
begin{align*}
alpha + beta + 90 text{textdegree} &= 180 text{textdegree} \
alpha + beta &=90 text{textdegree}\
beta &= 90 text{textdegree} – alpha \
beta &= 90 text{textdegree} – ( 90 text{textdegree} – theta)\
beta &= 180 text{textdegree} + theta\
end{align*}
$$

In the same way as we calculated the angle $alpha$, we can calculate the angle $beta$. And then we can find that the value of $theta$ is $45 text{textdegree}$. And we can draw this on the diagram.

Step 4

From the figure you can see that :

$Delta$ ANC and $Delta$ AB$_1$A$_1$ are similar

By properties of similar triangles
$$
dfrac{A_1B_1}{MN} = dfrac{AA_1}{AC}
$$

$$
text{color{#4257b2}Note that : $A_1B_1 = AB$, Because Height of Image = Height of Object

$ $

And that : $AA_1 = 2AC$, Because the image and object are at the same distance from mirror }
$$

$$
dfrac{AB}{MN} = dfrac{2AC}{AC}
$$

$$
dfrac{AB}{MN} = 2
$$

$$
dfrac{AB}{2} = MN
$$

We conclude that the mirror size should be at least half of the man’s height.

Exercise 59
Step 1
1 of 4
We can see the situation from our problem in the diagram below. The mirrors form an angle of $45 text{textdegree}$, so from the property of a triangle, we know

$$
begin{align*}
alpha + beta + 45 text{textdegree} &= 180 text{textdegree} \
alpha + beta &=135 text{textdegree}
end{align*}
$$

Also, from the Law of Reflection, we know that the angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection. So, we can write

$$
begin{align*}
theta_{i1}&= theta_{r1}\
theta_{i2}&= theta_{r2}\
end{align*}
$$

We know that the angle of incidence on the first mirror is $theta_{i1}=30 text{textdegree}$, so the angle of reflection from the first mirror is $theta_{r1}=30 text{textdegree}$. Futhermore, the sum of the angles $alpha$ and $theta_{r1}$ is $90 text{textdegree}$, so we can write

$$
begin{align*}
theta_{r1}+ alpha &= 90 text{textdegree}\
alpha&= 90 text{textdegree} – theta_{r1}\
alpha&= 90 text{textdegree} – 30 text{textdegree}\
alpha&= 60 text{textdegree}
end{align*}
$$

Step 2
2 of 4
Now, we can calculate $ beta$
begin{align*}
alpha + beta &=135 textdegree\
beta &= 135 textdegree – alpha \
beta&= 135 textdegree – 60 textdegree \
beta&= 75 textdegree
end{align*}
In the same manner as before, we can calculate the angles $ theta_{i2}$ and $ theta_{r2}$
begin{align*}
theta_{i2}+ beta &= 90 textdegree\
theta_{i2} &= 90 textdegree -beta \
theta_{i2} &= 90 textdegree -75 textdegree \
theta_{i2} &= 15 textdegree
end{align*}
So, the angle of reflection from the second mirror is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore theta_{r2}=15 textdegree $}]

Exercise 60
Step 1

In the diagram below, we can see that the angle between the incident ray and the normal, $60 textdegree$. When the mirror is rotated for $18 textdegree$, it has a new normal line and the angle between the initial normal line, and the final normal line is $18 textdegree$ . Also, in the diagram, we can see that [ theta_{i1}= theta_{i2}+ 18 textdegree] From this, we can calculate the angle of incidence when the mirror is rotated $ theta_{i2}$
begin{align*}
theta_{i1}&= theta_{i2}+ 18 textdegree \
theta_{i2} &= theta_{i1} – 18 textdegree \
theta_{i2} &= 60 textdegree – 18 textdegree \
theta_{i2} &= 42 textdegree
end{align*}
From the Law of Reflection, we know that the angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection relative to the normal [ theta_{i}= theta_{r}= 42 textdegree ]
Now, we can calculate the angle $ theta$ between the reflected ray and the mirror as
begin{align*}
theta + theta_{r}&= 90 textdegree\
theta &= 90 textdegree – theta_{r} \
theta &= 90 textdegree – 42 textdegree \
theta &= 48 textdegree
end{align*}
So, the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore theta=48 textdegree $}]

Magnification of a mirror is defined as a ratio of dimensions of object’s image and its real dimensions:

We need to calculate the $h_o$ from the previous equation:
$$h_o=frac{h_i}{M}$$
Inserting values we get:

Exercise 64
Step 1
1 of 3
We can find the characteristic of the image with the diagram or with the mirror equation $frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}= frac{1}{f}$
First, we are going to find the characteristic with equations. From Figure 17-21 we know

$$
begin{align*}
d_{o}>f \
frac{1}{d_{o}}< frac{1}{f}\
frac{1}{d_{o}} 0 \
d_{i} >0
end{align*}
$$

From this, we know that that the image is real. Now, we will observe relation between the radius $r=2f$ and the object position $d_{o}$

$$
begin{align*}
r>d_{o} \
2f>d_{o}\
frac{1}{d_{o}}> frac{1}{2f}\
frac{1}{f}- frac{1}{d_{i}} frac{1}{d_{i}} \
frac{1}{2f} > frac{1}{d_{i}}\
d_{i}> 2f\
d_{i}>r

$$

Step 2

From this, we can see that the position of the image is greater than radius of mirror. And, to find if the image is inverted or upright, we are going to use the magnification equation

M&= -frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} = frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}\
h_{i}&= – h_{o} frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}
end{align*}
$$

We can see that $d_{o}$, $d_{i}$, and $h_{o}$ are greater than zero, then the height of the image is lesser than zero, so the image is inverted.

Also, $d_{i}> d_{o}$, so the magnification is greater than $1$, and the image is larger than the object.

The image is real, inverted, and larger than the object.Exercise scan
Exercise 66
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 6
We need to determine the height and position of an image if an object is $h_o=3.8,,rm{cm}$ high and at a distance of $d_o=31,,rm{cm}$ away from a mirror that has a focus length of $f=16,,rm{cm}$
Step 2
2 of 6
In order to calculate the distance of the image we can use the next equation:
$$frac{1}{d_o}+frac{1}{d_i}=frac{1}{f}$$

From the previous equation we can express $d_i$:
$$frac{1}{d_i}=frac{1}{f}-frac{1}{d_o}$$
$$frac{q}{d_i}=frac{d_o-f}{fd_o}$$
And finally:
$$d_i=frac{fd_o}{d_o-f}$$

Step 3
3 of 6
Inserting values we get:
$$d_i=frac{16cdot 31}{31-16}$$
$$boxed{d_i=33.1,,rm{cm}}$$
Step 4
4 of 6
Now we can calculate the height of an image using the equation for magnification of a mirror:
$$M=frac{h_i}{h_o}=-frac{d_i}{d_o}$$
$$h_i=h_ofrac{d_i}{d_o}$$
Step 5
5 of 6
Inserting values we get:
$$h_i=-3.8cdot frac{33.1}{31}$$
$$boxed{h_o=-4.1,,rm{cm}}$$
Result
6 of 6
$$d_i=33.1,,rm{cm}$$
$$h_o=-4.1,,rm{cm}$$
Step 1
1 of 2
To find the position and the height of the image, we are going to use the mirror [frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}= frac{1}{f} ] and the magnification equation [M=- frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} = frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}]
From Figure 17-22, we know the focal length is $f= 16 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$, the position of the object is $d_{o}= 31 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$, and the height of the object is $h_{o}= 3.8 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$\
Now, we are going to find the position of the image with the mirror equation
begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{1}{f}\
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{1}{f}- frac{1}{d_{o}} \
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{d_{o}- f}{f cdot d_{o}}\
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{16 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm} cdot 31 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}{31 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}- 16 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}\
d_{i}&=33.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}
end{align*}
So, the position of the image is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore d_{i}=33.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm} $}]
When we know the position of the image, we can find the height of the image with the magnification equation
begin{align*}
M&= -frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} = frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}\
h_{i}&= – h_{o} frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} \
h_{i}&= – 3.8 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm} frac{33.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}{31 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}} \
h_{i}&= -4.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}
end{align*}
So, the height of the image is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore h_{i}=-4.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm} $}]
Result

$d_{i}=33.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$

Exercise 73
Step 1
1 of 11
In this problem, we have a convex mirror, where we need to find the image position and the height of the image. To solve this, we are going to use the mirror equation $frac{1}{f} = frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}$ where $f$ is the focal length of mirror, $d_{o}$ is the position of our object, and $d_{i}$ is the position of image. Also, we are going to use the magnification equation to find the image height $M= -frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}= frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}$ Also, we need to find the focal length of the mirror, and for that we use the equations $f=frac{r}{2}$ $r=frac{d}{2}$
Step 2

Now, we know the diameter $D$, the position of the object $d_{o}$, and the height of the object $h_{o}$, and we need to find the position of the image $d_{i}$ and the height of the image $h_{i}$:

$$
begin{align*}
&D= 40.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}\
&d_{o}= 1.5 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}\
&h_{o}=12.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}
end{align*}
$$

Step 3

First, we are going to find the focal length by using the equation $f=r/2$ and $r=d/2$. Furthermore, we are going to substitute the values in the equation

$$
begin{align*}
f&= frac{d}{4}\
f&= frac{40.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}{4}\
f&= 10.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}
end{align*}
$$

But, the mirror is convex, so the focal length is lesser than zero $f=-10.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$ Now, when we have found the focal length, we are going to use it in the mirror equation.

Step 4
4 of 11
To find the position of the image from the mirror equation, first we are going to subtract $frac{1}{d_{o}}$ on the both sides.

$$
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f} &= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}} / – frac{1}{d_{o}} \
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{1}{f} – frac{1}{d_{o}}

We have found the final expression for the image position, and now, we can substitute the values and calculate the position

$$

d_{i}&= frac{-0.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m} cdot 1.5 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}{1.5 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}+ 0.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}\
d_{i}&= frac{-0.15 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m^{2}}}{1.6 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}\
d_{i}&= -9.4 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}

To solve this problem, we are going to use the law of reflection $theta_{i}= theta_{r}$ where $theta_{i}$ is the angle of incidence, and $theta_{r}$ is the angle of reflection. Also, the light source is moving, so we have to find the angle of incidence for that case.
Step 2

First, we need to find the final angle of incidence. To do that, we can find the sum of the initial angle of incidence and the $Delta theta_{i}$

theta_{i2}&= 28 text{textdegree} + 34 text{textdegree}\

Exercise 80
Step 1
1 of 12
The surveillance mirror is a convex mirror because it helps to eliminate blind spots. So, in this problem, we have a convex mirror, where we need to find the position of the image (part $a$), and the height of the image (part $b$). To solve this, we are going to use the mirror equation $frac{1}{f} = frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}$ where $f$ is the focal length of mirror, $d_{o}$ is the position of our object, and $d_{i}$ is the position of image. Also, we are going to use the magnification equation to find the image height $M= -frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}= frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}$ Furthermore, we need to find the focal length of the mirror, and for that we use the equation $f=frac{r}{2}$
Step 2
2 of 12
In this problem, we know the radius $r$, the position of the object $d_{o}$, and the object height $h_{o}$, and we need to find the focal length:

$$
begin{align*}
&r=3.8 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}\
&d_{o}=6.5 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}\
&h_{o}=1.7 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}
end{align*}
$$

Step 3
3 of 12
Now, we can find the focal length by using the equation $f=r/2$. Furthermore, we are going to substitute the values in the equation

$$
begin{align*}
f&= frac{r}{2}\
f&= frac{3.8 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}{2}\
f&= 1.9 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}
end{align*}
$$

But the mirror is convex, so the focal length is negative $f=-1.9 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$

Step 4
4 of 12
$a)$ In this part, we need to find the position of the image. To find the position of the image from the mirror equation, first we are going to subtract $frac{1}{d_{o}}$ on the both sides.

$$
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f} &= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}} / – frac{1}{d_{o}} \
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{1}{f} – frac{1}{d_{o}}
end{align*}
$$

Step 5
5 of 12
In this step, we need to find the least common multipe for $frac{1}{f}$ and $frac{1}{d_{o}}$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{1}{f} – frac{1}{d_{o}} \
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{d_{o}- f}{f cdot d_{o}}
end{align*}
Step 6
6 of 12
Now, we need to find the reciprocal value of previous equation hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{d_{o}- f}{f cdot d_{o}}\
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}- f}
end{align*}
Step 7
7 of 12
We have found the final expression for the image position, and now, we can substitue the values and calculate the position

$$
begin{align*}
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{-1.9 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m} cdot 6.5 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}{6.5 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}+ 1.9 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}\
d_{i}&= frac{-12.35 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m^{2}}}{8.4 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}\
d_{i}&= -1.47 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}
end{align*}
$$

Step 8
8 of 12
So, the position of the image is hfill textcolor{white}{.}
[ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore d_{i}=-1.47 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m} $}]
Step 9
9 of 12
$b)$ In this part, we need to find the height of the image. To find the image height, we need to multiply everything in the magnification equation with $h_{o}$

$$
begin{align*}
– frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} &= frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} / cdot h_{o}\
h_{i}&= -h_{o}frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}
end{align*}
$$

Step 10
10 of 12
In this step, we are going to substitute the values, and calculate the image height

$$
begin{align*}
h_{i}&= -h_{o}frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}\
h_{i}&= – 1.7 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m} frac{-1.47hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}{6.5 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}\
h_{i}&= -1.7 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m} cdot (-0.23)\
h_{i}&= 0.38 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}\
end{align*}
$$

Step 11
11 of 12
So, the height of the image is hfill textcolor{white}{.}
[ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore h_{i}=0.38 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m} $}]
Result

$a)$ $d_{i}=-1.47 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$

$b)$ $h_{i}=0.38 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$

Exercise 81
Step 1
1 of 13
In this problem, we need to find the type of mirror (concave $f>0$ or convex $f0$). Also, we know the magnification and the position of the object. To solve the problem, we are going to use several equations, the mirror equation $frac{1}{f}= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}$, the magnification equation $M= -frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}= frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}$ and the relation between the focal length and the radius $r=2f$
Step 2
2 of 13
In this problem, we know the magnification $M$, the position of the object $d_{o}$, and that the image if upright $h_{i}>0$, and we need to find the type of mirror, and its radius:

$$
begin{align*}
&M=7.5\
&d_{o}=14.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}\
&h_{i}>0
end{align*}
$$

Step 3
3 of 13
$a)$ In this part, we are going to determine the type of mirror, and for that, we are going to use the mirror equation, and the magnification equation. First, we know that $d_{o}>0$, and $M>0$, and we are going to multiply both sides with $-d_{o}$

$$
begin{align*}
M&= – frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} / cdot (-d_{o})\
d_{i}&=-M d_{o}
end{align*}
$$

Step 4
4 of 13
Now, we know that the product of $M d_{o}$ is greater than zero, so the left side is lesser than zero hfill textcolor{white}{..}
begin{align*}
d_{i}&=-M d_{o}\
M d_{o}&>0\
d_{i}&<0
end{align*}
So, now we know that the image is virtual.
Step 5
5 of 13
Also, from magnification equation, we can determine the relation of the absolute value of $d_{i}$ and $d_{o}$. We know that the magnification is greater than one, $M>1$ hfill textcolor{white}{..}
begin{align*}
frac{|d_{i}|}{|d_{o}|}&=M\
frac{|d_{i}|}{|d_{o}|}&>1\
|d_{i}|&>|d_{o}|
end{align*}
Step 6
6 of 13
Now, we use the mirror equation, to determine is the focal length greater or less than zero. we need to find the least common multipe for $frac{1}{d_{i}}$ and $frac{1}{d_{o}}$ hfill textcolor{white}{..}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f}&= frac{1}{d_{i}}+frac{1}{d_{o}}\
frac{1}{f}&= frac{d_{o}+d_{i}}{d_{i} d_{o}}
end{align*}
Step 7
7 of 13
Now, we need to find the reciprocal value of previous equation hfill textcolor{white}{..}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f}&= frac{d_{o}+ d_{i}}{d_{i} d_{o}}\
f&= frac{d_{i} d_{o}}{d_{o}+ d_{i}}
end{align*}
Step 8
8 of 13
We know that $|d_{i}|>|d_{o}|$ and $d_{i}<0$, so their sum is less than zero, and their product is less than zero. So, the focal length is greater than zero. If the focal length is greater than zero, the mirror is concave.
Step 9
9 of 13
$b)$ To find the radius, we need to find the position of the image, and the focal length. We are going to use equations from previous part, $d_{i}=-M d_{o}$ $f= frac{d_{i} d_{o}}{d_{o}+ d_{i}}$
Step 10
10 of 13
First, we are going to calculate the position of the image hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
d_{i}&=-M d_{o}\
d_{i}&=- 7.5 cdot 14.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}\
d_{i}&=-105.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}\
end{align*}
Step 11
11 of 13
Now, we can find the focal length hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
f&= frac{d_{i} d_{o}}{d_{o} + d_{i}}\
f&= frac{-105.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm} cdot 14.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}}{14.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}-105.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}}\
f&= frac{-1470.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm^{2}}}{-91.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}}\
f&=16.2 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}
end{align*}
Step 12
12 of 13
Finally, we can find the radius hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
r&=2f\
r&= 2 cdot 16.2 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}\
r&= 32.4 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}
end{align*}
So, the radius of the curvature is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore r=32.4 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm} $}]
Result

$a)$ Concave mirror

$b)$ $r=32.4 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{mm}$

First, we observe the image of the arrow in position 1. The arrow is positioned at $2.5 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$ from the mirror. Also, it is behind the center of the mirror. We can see that the image is smaller than the object, inverted, real, and it is between the center and the focal point.
Step 4

Now, we observe the image of the arrow in position 2. The arrow is positioned at $1.5 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$ from the mirror. In the diagram, we see that the arrow is halfway between the center and the focal point. For this case, the image is also real and inverter, but it is bigger than the object, and it is behind the center.

Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 11
In this problem, we need to find the type of mirror (concave or convex). We can do that by observing the focal length of the mirror. We know where the ball is positioned, and the mirror forms the virtual image, $d_{i}<0$. Also, we know that if we replace the spherical mirror with a plane the image is closer for $12 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$.
Step 2
2 of 11
To solve this problem, we are going to use the mirror equation $frac{1}{f}= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}$ where $f$ is the focal length of mirror, $d_{o}$ is the position of our object, and $d_{i}$ is the position of image. Also, we are going to use the information that the image in the plane mirror is $12 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$ closer than the image in the spherical mirror, and the position of the object and the image for a plane mirror is the same $d_{o_{p}}=d_{i_{p}}$
Step 3
3 of 11
First, we are going to calculate the position of the image for a spherical mirror. In order to calculate that, we have to know the position of the image for a plane mirror. We know the position of the object, $d_{o}$, so we know the position of the image in the plane mirror

$$
begin{align*}
d_{o}&=22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}\
d_{o_{p}}&=d_{o}\
d_{i_{p}}&=d_{o_{p}}\
d_{i_{p}}&=22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}
end{align*}
$$

Step 4
4 of 11
In this step, we can find the position of the image for a spherical mirror. We know that the image in a plane mirror is for $12 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$ closer than the image in a spherical mirror, so we can write

$$
begin{align*}
d_{i}&=d_{i_{p}}+12 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}\
d_{i}&=22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}+12 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}\
d_{i}&=34 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}
end{align*}
$$

Step 5

The image is virtual, so the position of the image is hfill textcolor{white}{.}
[d_{i}=-34 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}]
Step 6

Now, we can calculate the focal length by using the mirror equation hfill textcolor{white}{.} [ frac{1}{f} = frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}} ]
Step 7

frac{1}{f}&= frac{d_{i} + d_{o}}{d_{o} cdot d_{i}}
end{align*}
Step 8

Now, we need to find the reciprocal value of previous equation hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f}&= frac{d_{i} + d_{o}}{d_{o} cdot d_{i}}\
f&= frac{d_{o} cdot d_{i}}{d_{i} + d_{o}}
end{align*}
Step 9
9 of 11
We have found the final expression for the focal length, and now, we can substitute the values and calculate it

$$
begin{align*}
f&= frac{d_{o} cdot d_{i}}{d_{i}+ d_{o}}\
f&= frac{22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm} cdot (-34 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm})}{-34 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}+ 22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}\
f&=frac{-748 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm^2}}{-12 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}\
f&=62.3 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}
end{align*}
$$

Step 10
10 of 11
The focal length is positive, so the mirror is concave. hfill textcolor{white}{.}
Result
11 of 11
The mirror is concave.
Step 1
1 of 2
Mirror Equation :
$$
dfrac{1}{f}=dfrac{1}{d_o}+dfrac{1}{d_i}
$$

Given that : $d_o = 22$

For Images produced by plane mirrors, object and Image are at the same distance from the mirror

That means that the Image is now 22cm behind the mirror. But before the plane mirror was used, the image was $22+12 = 34$ cm behind the mirror

Therefore $d_i = -34$

$$
dfrac{1}{f} = dfrac{1}{22}+dfrac{1}{-34}
$$

$$
dfrac{1}{f} = dfrac{1}{22}times dfrac{34}{34}-dfrac{1}{34}times dfrac{22}{22}
$$

$$
dfrac{1}{f} = dfrac{34}{34times22}-dfrac{22}{34times22}
$$

$$
dfrac{1}{f} = dfrac{12}{34times22}
$$

Take reciprocal of both sides

$$
{f} = dfrac{34times22}{12}approx62.3text{ cm}
$$

The positive sign means that the mirror was concave

f=62.3 cm

First, we are going to find the position of the image. We use the magnification equation $M= – frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}= frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}$. We are going to multiply both sides with $-d_{o}$

$$
begin{align*}
– frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}&= frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} / cdot (-d_{o})\
d_{i}&=-d_{o} frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}\

Exercise 87
Step 1
1 of 19
In this problem, we have a concave mirror and the object that is approaching the mirror. To describe how the size of the image is changing as it rolls along, we are going to use the mirror equation $frac{1}{f}= frac{1}{d_{i}}+ frac{1}{d_{o}}$ where $f$ is the focal length of mirror, $d_{o}$ is the position of our object, and $d_{i}$ is the position of the image, and the magnification equation $M= – frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}$ Also, we are going to observe some cases (when the ball is behind the center, when the ball is between the center and the focal point, when the ball is between the mirror and the focal point, when the ball is in the center, and when the ball is in the focal point). Furthermore, we need to find the focal length of the mirror, and for that we use the equation $f=frac{r}{2}$
Step 2
2 of 19
First, we are going to find the expression for the position of the image from the mirror equation. To find the position of the image from the mirror equation, first we are going to subtract $frac{1}{d_{o}}$ on the both sides.

$$
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f} &= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}} / – frac{1}{d_{o}} \
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{1}{f} – frac{1}{d_{o}}
end{align*}
$$

Step 3
3 of 19
In this step, we need to find the least common multipe for $frac{1}{f}$ and $frac{1}{d_{o}}$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{1}{f} – frac{1}{d_{o}} \
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{d_{o}- f}{f cdot d_{o}}
end{align*}
Step 4
4 of 19
Now, we need to find the reciprocal value of previous equation hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= frac{d_{o}- f}{f cdot d_{o}}\
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}- f}
end{align*}
Step 5
5 of 19
The first case is when the ball is behind the center, $d_{o}>r$, or $d_{o}>2f$, so we can write this as $d_{o}=C cdot 2f$, where $C$ is the constant that is greater than one. Now, we can write the position of the image

$$
begin{align*}
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot 2Cf}{2Cf- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{ 2Cf^{2}}{(2C-1) f}\
end{align*}
$$

Step 6
6 of 19
In this step, we can divide everything with $f$, and replace $2Cf$ with $d_{o}$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
d_{i}&= frac{ 2Cf^{2}}{(2C-1) f}\
d_{i}&= frac{ 2Cf}{2C-1}\
d_{i}&= frac{ d_{o}}{2C-1}\
end{align*}
Step 7
7 of 19
The part $2C-1$ is greater than $1$, so we can write $d_{i}<d_{o}$, but also, we can conclude that the image is real. When we use this in the magnification equation, we get that the magnification is less than $1$. So, we can say that the image is smaller. Also, we have a minus sign in the magnification equation, so the image is inverted.
Step 8
8 of 19
Now, the case when the ball is between the center and the focal point hfill textcolor{white}{.} [2f>d_{o}>f] We can solve this as before, we write $d_{o}$ as [d_{o}=Cf]
Step 9
9 of 19
We can write the position of the image hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot Cf}{Cf- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{ Cf^{2}}{(C-1) f}\
end{align*}
Step 10
10 of 19
In this step, we replace $Cf$ with $d_{o}$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
d_{i}&= frac{ Cf^{2}}{(C-1) f}\
d_{i}&= frac{ Cf}{C-1}\
d_{i}&= frac{ d_{o}}{C-1}\
end{align*}
Step 11
11 of 19
The part $C-1$ is greater than $0$, but less than $1$, so we can write $d_{i}>d_{o}$, but also, we can conclude that the image is real. When we use this in the magnification equation, we get that the magnification is greater than $1$. So, we can say that the image is bigger. Also, we have a minus sign in the magnification equation, so the image is inverted.
Step 12
12 of 19
And finally, the case when the ball is between the focal point and the mirror hfill textcolor{white}{.} [f>d_{o}] We can solve this like in previous cases, to write $d_{o}$ as [d_{o}= frac{f}{C}] where $C$ is a constant that is greater than $1$.
Step 13
13 of 19
We can write the position of the image hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot frac{f}{C}}{frac{f}{C}- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{ frac{f^{2}}{C}}{(frac{1}{C}-1) f}\
end{align*}
Step 14
14 of 19
In this step, we replace $f/C$ with $d_{o}$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
d_{i}&= frac{ frac{f^{2}}{C}}{(frac{1}{C}-1) f}\
d_{i}&= frac{ frac{f}{C}}{frac{1}{C}-1}\
d_{i}&= frac{ d_{o}}{frac{1}{C}-1}\
end{align*}
Step 15
15 of 19
The part $frac{1}{C}-1$ is less than $0$, so the image is virtual. Also, we can see $|d_{i}|>|d_{o}|$. When we use this in the magnification equation, we get that the magnification is greater than $1$. So, we can say that the image is bigger. Also, we have a minus sign in the magnification equation, but we have a minus sign from the image position, so the image is upright.
Step 16
16 of 19
When the ball is in the center $d_{o}=2f$, we can write the image position as hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot 2f}{2f- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{ 2f^{2}}{f}\
d_{i}&=2f\
d_{i}&=d_{o}
end{align*}
Step 17
17 of 19
We can see the position of the image is the same as the position of the object. Also, the magnification is $1$, so the image has the same height like the object, but there is a minus sign, so the image is inverted.
Step 18
18 of 19
When the ball is in the focal point $d_{o}=f$, we can write the image position as hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{f cdot f}{f- f}\
d_{i}&= frac{ f^{2}}{ 0}
end{align*}
Step 19
19 of 19
For this case, there is no image, because the position of the image is in $infty$.
Exercise 88
Step 1
1 of 7
In this problem, we have a concave mirror, and we need to find the focal length. We are going to use the mirror equation $frac{1}{f} = frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}$ where $f$ is the focal length of mirror, $d_{o}$ is the position of our object, and $d_{i}$ is the position of image.
Step 2
2 of 7
From Figure 17-26, we can see that the position of the image and the position of the object are the same hfill textcolor{white}{.} [d_{o}=d_{i}=22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}]
Step 3
3 of 7
In this step, we need to find the least common multipe for $frac{1}{d_{i}}$ and $frac{1}{d_{o}}$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f}&= frac{1}{d_{i}} + frac{1}{d_{o}} \
frac{1}{f}&= frac{d_{o}+d_{i}}{d_{i} cdot d_{o}}
end{align*}
Step 4
4 of 7
Now, we need to find the reciprocal value of previous equation hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f}&= frac{d_{o}+d_{i}}{d_{i} d_{o}}\
f&=frac{d_{i} d_{o}}{d_{o}+d_{i}}\
end{align*}
Step 5
5 of 7
We have found the final expression for the focal length, and now, we can substitute the values and calculate the position

$$
begin{align*}
f&= frac{d_{i} cdot d_{o}}{d_{o}+d_{i}}\
f&= frac{22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm} cdot 22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}{22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}+22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}\
f&= frac{22^{2} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm^{2}}}{2 cdot 22 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}\
f&= 11 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}
end{align*}
$$

Step 6

So, we found the focal length hfill textcolor{white}{.}
[ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore f=11 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm} $}]

$$
f=11 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}

Exercise 89
Step 1
1 of 5
In this problem, we have a concave mirror. To solve this problem, we are going to use two equations, the mirror equation $frac{1}{f} = frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}$ where $f$ is the focal length of mirror, $d_{o}$ is the position of our object, and $d_{i}$ is the position of the image. Also, our final expression should be the relationship between the object position and the image position for a plane mirror $d_{o}=-d_{i}$
Step 2
2 of 5
The radius of curvature increases to $infty$, so the focal length increases to $infty$, because hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
f&=frac{r}{2}\
f&=frac{infty}{2}\
f&=infty
end{align*}
Step 3
3 of 5
Now, we are going to substitute the value of focal length in the mirror equation hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
frac{1}{f}&= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}\
frac{1}{infty}&= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}\
0&= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}
end{align*}
Step 4
4 of 5
In this step, we are going to subtract $ frac{1}{d_{o}}$ on the both sides hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
0 &= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}} / – frac{1}{d_{o}} \
frac{1}{d_{i}}&= – frac{1}{d_{o}}
end{align*}
Step 5
5 of 5
Finally, we find the reciprocal value of the previous expression, and we get the relationship between the object position and the image position for a plane mirror $d_{o}=-d_{i}$
Exercise 90
Solution 1
Solution 2
Solution 3
Step 1
1 of 5
Plane mirror that is $d_o=6,,rm{cm}$ away from the object is substituted with a concave mirror. This causes the image to be $delta_i=8,,rm{cm}$ farther behind the mirror. We need to determine the focal length of the mirror if an object is between mirror and the focal point.
Step 2
2 of 5
When talking about plane mirrors, the object and image are at the equal distance from the mirror. This means that new distance of image is:
$$d_i=d_o+delta_i$$
$$d_i=-6-8$$
$$d_i=-14,,rm{cm}$$
Where we took negative values because the distance is behind mirror.
Step 3
3 of 5
The next equation that we need is:
$$frac{1}{d_o}+frac{1}{d_i}=frac{1}{f}$$

From the previous equation we can express $f$:
$$frac{1}{f}=frac{d_i+d_o}{d_od_i}$$
And $f$ is:
$$f=frac{d_od_i}{d_o+d_i}$$

Step 4
4 of 5
Inserting values we get:
$$f=frac{6cdot (-14)}{6-14}$$
$$boxed{f=10.5,,rm{cm}}$$
Result
5 of 5
$$f=10.5,,rm{cm}$$
Step 1
1 of 9
In this problem, we need to find the focal length of the mirror. We know where the object is positioned $d_{o}$. Also, we know that if we replace the plane mirror with concave the image is farther for $8.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$.
Step 2
2 of 9
To solve this problem, we are going to use the mirror equation $frac{1}{f}= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}$ where $f$ is the focal length of mirror, $d_{o}$ is the position of our object, and $d_{i}$ is the position of the image. Also, we are going to use the information that the image in the plane mirror is $8.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$ closer than the image in the concave mirror, and the position of the object and the image for a plane mirror is the same $d_{o_{p}}=-d_{i_{p}}$
Step 3
3 of 9
We know the position of the object, $d_{o}$, so we know the position of the image in the plane mirror. We can write $d_{o}=-d_{i_{p}} Rightarrow d_{i_{p}}=-6.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$
Step 4
4 of 9
In this step, we can find the position of the image for a concave mirror. We know that the image in a plane mirror is for $8.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}$ closer than the image in a concave mirror, so we can write

$$
begin{align*}
d_{i}&=d_{i_{p}}-8.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}\
d_{i}&=-6.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}-8.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}\

Finally, we can find the focal length. First, we need to find the least common multipe for $frac{1}{d_{i}}$ and $frac{1}{d_{o}}$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}

f&=frac{d_{i} d_{o}}{d_{o}+d_{i}}\
end{align*}
Step 7
7 of 9
We have found the final expression for the focal length, and now, we can substitute the values and calculate the focal length

$$
begin{align*}
f&= frac{d_{i} d_{o}}{d_{o}+ d_{i}}\
f&= frac{-14.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm} cdot 6.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}{6.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}- 14.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}}\

Initially the image was formed 6 cm behind the plane mirror

After the plane mirror is replaced with concave mirror, the image is now $6+8 = 14$ cm behind the mirror

Exercise 91
Step 1
1 of 4
To understand why a concave mirror is used, we need to look at Figure 17-11. In Figure 17-11, we can see that the final image is real, upright, and smaller. With this information, we can find that the focal length must be greater than zero (concave mirror).
Step 2
2 of 4
First, we are going to look at the characteristics of the first image. That image is inverted, $h_{i1}<0$. The image of the first mirror is the object of the second mirror, so the height of the object for the second mirror is less than zero, $h_{o2}0$, then the relation between $h_{o2}$ and $h_{i2}$ is less than zero $frac{h_{i2}}{h_{o2}}<0$
Step 3
3 of 4
If we compare previous expression with the magnification equation, we get that the position of the object and the position of the image should be greater than zero $d_{o2}>0 hspace{2.5mm} d_{i2}>0$
Step 4
4 of 4
If we use this in the mirror equation $f_{2}=frac{d_{o2}d_{i2}}{d_{o2}+d_{i2}}$ we get that the focal length is greater than zero, $f_{2}>0$. So the mirror has to be concave.
Exercise 92
Step 1
1 of 9
In this problem, we have a system of mirrors, one concave and one convex mirror. In the first part (part $a$), we want to find the explanation why the convex mirror is used, and in the second part (part $b$), we want to find is the final image inverted or upright. To solve this problem, we are going to use the mirror equation $frac{1}{f}= frac{1}{d_{o}}+ frac{1}{d_{i}}$ where $f$ is the focal length of mirror, $d_{o}$ is the position of our object, and $d_{i}$ is the position of the image. Also, we are going to use the magnification equation to find the image height $M= -frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}= frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}$
Step 2
2 of 9
$a)$ The image from the first mirror is virtual $d_{i1}<0$. That image is the object for the second mirror, so $d_{o2}0$
Step 3
3 of 9
To find the relation between the position of the image and the position of the object, we use the magnification equation and the information that the image is smaller than the object $M<1$. So, we can write

$$
begin{align*}
M&<1\
-frac{d_{i2}}{d_{o2}}&-d_{o2}
end{align*}
$$

Step 4
4 of 9
Previous expression we can write as hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
|d_{i2}|&> – (-|d_{o2}|)\
|d_{i2}|&> |d_{o2}|\
end{align*}
Step 5
5 of 9
In this step, we can look at the mirror equation hfill textcolor{white}{.} [f_{2}=frac{d_{o2}d_{i2}}{d_{i2}+d_{o2}}] or [f_{2}=frac{-|d_{o2}||d_{i2}|}{|d_{i2}|-|d_{o2|}}]
Step 6
6 of 9
We have already seen that $|d_{i2}|>|d_{o2}|$, so the focal length is less than zero, $f_{2}<0$. So, we saw that the mirror should be convex, if the final image is real.
Step 7
7 of 9
$b)$ It was shown that the magnification is greater than zero, $M>0$. We are going to use that in this part $M=frac{h_{i2}}{h_{o2}}$ The image from the first mirror is inverted, so the object of the second mirror is inverted, $h_{o2}<0$.
Step 8
8 of 9
If the image is inverted $h_{o2}0$, then the image from the second mirror is also inverted, $h_{i2}<0$.
Step 9
9 of 9
If we compare this problem with the previous problem, we can see that whenever the light crosses, the image is inverted. In this problem, there are no crosses, so the final image is inverted.
Exercise 93
Step 1
1 of 4
Before we explain the methods for grinding, polishing, and testing mirrors in reflective telescopes, we will first say something about reflective telescopes. These are telescopes that use one or more curved mirrors to get an image. They were invented by Isaac Newton as a replacement for refractive telescopes. In the first reflective telescopes, mirrors were metals. In the 19th century did glass with a thin layer of silver begin to be used. They are very popular in astronomy. Many popular amateur models, but also the Hubble Space Telescope, use reflective telescopes.
Step 2
2 of 4
We observe the methods of grinding, polishing, and testing that are possible at home, amateur methods. Before starting work on the mirror, we first need to place the mirror in a stationary position. We can use pieces of wood to hold it in place. Then we add a spoonful of the coarsest grit we have on the mirror. We must also add water, due to the dust that occurs during operation. We use tools and various strokes to grind the mirror. There are various ways to stroke. Some ways of strokes have a mirror at the top and a tool at the bottom, and others have a mirror at the bottom and a tool at the top. While grinding the mirror with the tool, we need to add water. After a long time, we will get a frosty mirror surface. When we are satisfied with the sanded mirror, we take the next grit and grind the mirror until we get a very smooth surface. We still add water. We continue to grind until we have a uniform surface. We can check that with a magnifying glass. After we finish sanding, we need to clean everything thoroughly. As we grind, we should periodically check that the same focal length remains.
Step 3
3 of 4
After sanding, we can move on to polishing. Although the mirror looks smooth to us, it is still very rough. We need to polish it until it is so smooth that it reflects all the photons. To polish, we need to use a pitch lap. It will take the shape of a mirror, and allow us to polish it evenly. We will heat the mirror and the tool first. Then we will heat the pitch and add it to the mirror along with the polishing compound and water. We have to work fast so that everything doesn’t get cold. After this, we will do the polishing for a few hours, until we are satisfied with the smoothness.
Step 4
4 of 4
Testing a reflective telescope at home can be done by observing a star with a telescope. That star needs to be in the center of our field of vision. So we change the focus, and at best focus, the star should be the point. As we move the focus forward, the star should become a disk. The enlargement should be equal, and the disc should be evenly lit. Also, the disk should be circular while doing this. And if it is not, that means a problem. Some problems that can occur are astigmatism and a different focus.
Exercise 94

$a)$ There are several types of coated mirrors, some of them are metal coated mirrors and dielectric coated mirrors. Dielectric mirrors consist of many layers of dielectrics, and each of them has a different index of diffraction. The most commonly used mirrors are metal coated mirrors. These are mirrors that have a layer of metal on them. We will now look at the pros and cons of these mirrors. The advantages of dielectric coated mirrors are that they have high reflectivity, while the disadvantage of metal coated mirrors is that they have lower reflectivity than dielectric ones. Also, the advantage of dielectric mirrors is the high damage threshold and high scratch resistance. Metal coated mirrors have little resistance to scratches, but they can also have a protective layer, so they are more resistant. The advantage of metal coated mirrors is that they are cheaper than dielectric ones and that the reflection does not depend much on the angle.
Step 2

$b)$ Aluminum mirrors are very practical and accurate mirrors. They are accurate up to one-quarter of the wavelength of light. With conventional methods, it is possible to make an aluminum mirror. Usually, $99.5 %$ of pure aluminum is taken, because it gives the best results. When making mirrors, optical flat aluminum is taken and chemically polished to obtain an aluminum mirror. It is necessary to put on a protective layer because aluminum reacts with the atmosphere. Usually, they put the thin film of nickel, because it is good for protection. The aluminum mirrors are much lighter than glass mirrors, so they can be used in various areas, such as aerospace, defense, and medical optical systems. Also, it is easier to make numerous shapes from aluminum mirrors. Aluminum mirrors are made to have high reflectivity at any incident angle.

We are going to divide everything with the $-g$, to get the expression for the coefficient of friction hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
a&=- mu g / : (-g)\
mu&=- frac{a}{g}
end{align*}
Step 8
8 of 11
In this step, we are going to calculate the acceleration. In the equation $a=frac{v_{f}^{2}-v^{2}_{i}}{2s}$, we are going to substitute the value, so we write

$$
begin{align*}
a&=frac{v_{f}^{2}-v^{2}_{i}}{2s}\
a&=frac{(0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s})^{2}-(4.7 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s})^{2}}{2 cdot 6.2 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}\
a&=-1.8 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s^2}
end{align*}
$$

Step 9
9 of 11
Finally, we can calculate the coefficient of friction. We are going to substitute values for $a$ and $g$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
mu&=- frac{-1.8 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s^2}}{9.8 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s^2}}\
mu&=0.2
end{align*}
Step 10
10 of 11
So, we found the coefficient of friction hfill textcolor{white}{.}

Exercise 96
Step 1
1 of 11
In this problem, we have a piece of cooper of $1.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{g}$, that is falling from the height. While it was falling, it lost half of its energy. We need to calculate how much did it heat during the fall.
Step 2
2 of 11
In this task, we have: hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
&m=1.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{g} Rightarrow m=1.0 cdot 10^{-3} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}\
&h=1.0 cdot 10^{4} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}\
&v=70.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s}\
&Q=E_{loss}/2\
&g=9.81cdot 10^{4} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s^{2}}
end{align*}
Step 3
3 of 11
To solve this problem, we are going to use the law of energy conservation $E_{i}=E_{f}$ where $E_{i}$ is an initial energy, in our case the potential energy $mgh$, and $E_{f}$ si a final energy, in our case the sum of kinetic energy and thermal loss $frac{1}{2}mv^{2}+E_{loss}$.
Step 4
4 of 11
First, we are going to calculate a potential energy $E_{o}$ by substituting the values hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
E_{p}&=mgh\
E_{p}&=1.0 cdot 10^{-3} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg} cdot 9.81cdot 10^{4} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s^{2}} cdot 1.0 cdot 10^{4} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}\
E_{p}&=98.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{J}
end{align*}
Step 5
5 of 11
In this step, we are going to calculate a kinetic energy $E_{k}$ by substituting the values hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
E_{k}&=frac{1}{2} mv^{2}\
E_{k}&=frac{1}{2} cdot 1.0 cdot 10^{-3} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg} cdot (70.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s})^{2}\
E_{k}&=2.4 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{J}
end{align*}
Step 6
6 of 11
Now, we can write the law of energy conservation $E_{i}=E_{f}$ as hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
E_{i}&=E_{f}\
E_{p}&=E_{k}+E_{loss}
end{align*}
Step 7
7 of 11
To find the expression for the energy loss, we need to subtract $E_{k}$ on both sides hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
E_{p}&=E_{k}+E_{loss} / – E_{k} \
E_{loss}&=E_{p}-E_{k}
end{align*}
Step 8
8 of 11
Now, we can substitute values and calculate the energy loss hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
E_{loss}&=E_{p}-E_{k}\
E_{loss}&=98.1 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{J}- 2.4 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{J}\
E_{loss}&=95.7hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{J}
end{align*}
Step 9
9 of 11
Finally, we can calculate how much the piece heat during the fall $Q$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
Q&= frac{E_{loss}}{2}\
Q&=frac{95.7hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{J}}{2}\
Q&=47.8 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{J}
end{align*}
Step 10
10 of 11
So, we found the heat energy hfill textcolor{white}{.}
[ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore Q=47.8 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{J} $}]

Exercise 97
Step 1
1 of 6
In this problem, we have the body that exerts pressure, with the force of $600 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}$, on the cross-sectional area of $0.25 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m^{2}}$. We need to find the pressure that we need to blow into the straw to lift the body.
Step 2
2 of 6
In this task, we have: hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
&A_{1}=0.25 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m^{2}}\
&A_{2}=2 cdot 10^{-5} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m^{2}}\
&F_{1}=600 cdot 10^{-5} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}
end{align*}
Step 3
3 of 6
To solve this problem, we are going to use the equation hfill textcolor{white}{.} [P= frac{F}{A}] where $P$ is the exerted pressure, $F$ is the force, and $A$ is an area on which the force acts. We are going to compare the pressure from the body, and the pressure that we need to blow into the straw to lift the body. The minimal pressure that we need to blow into the straw to lift the body is the same as the pressure from the body, so we can write [P_{1}=P_{2}]
Step 4
4 of 6
First, we are going to calculate a pressure of the body by substituting the values hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
P_{1}&= frac{F_{1}}{A_{1}}\
P_{1}&= frac{600 cdot 10^{-5} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}}{0.25 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m^{2}}}\
P_{1}&= 2400 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{Pa}
end{align*}
Step 5
5 of 6
How the pressure that we need to blow into the straw to lift the body is equal to the pressure from the body, then our pressure is [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore P_{2}= 2400 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{Pa} $}]
Result

$$
P_{2}= 2400 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{Pa}

In this problem, we have a pendulum on the Moon and on Earth. We need to find the period of a pendulum on the Moon and on Earth, if we know the length of the pendulum, mass of the Moon and its radius.
Step 2
2 of 11
In this task, we have: hfill textcolor{white}{.}

&G=6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg hspace{0.5mm} s^{2}}}
end{align*}
Step 3
3 of 11
To solve this problem, we are going to use the equation hfill textcolor{white}{.} [T=2 pi sqrt{frac{l}{g}}] where $T$ is the period, $g$ is the gravitational acceleration, and $l$ is a length of a pendulum. To find the period on the Moon, we need to find gravitational acceleration on the Moon. We can do this if we compare the equations [F_{g}= G frac{mM_{Moon}}{R_{Moon}^{2}}] and [F_{g}=mg_{Moon}]
Step 4
4 of 11
First, we are going to calculate a gravitational acceleration on the Moon. We have two equations, $F_{g}= G frac{mM_{Moon}}{R_{Moon}^{2}}$ and $F_{g}=mg_{Moon}$, that are equal to each other

$$
begin{align*}
mg_{Moon}&=G frac{mM_{Moon}}{R_{Moon}^{2}}
end{align*}
$$

Step 5
5 of 11
Now, we are going to divide both sides in previous equation with a mass $m$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
mg_{Moon}&=G frac{mM_{Moon}}{R_{Moon}^{2}} /: m\
g_{Moon}&=G frac{M_{Moon}}{R_{Moon}^{2}}
end{align*}
Step 6
6 of 11
In this step, we are going to substitute the values and calculate the gravitational acceleration on the Moon hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
g_{Moon}&=G frac{M_{Moon}}{R_{Moon}^{2}}\
g_{Moon}&=6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg hspace{0.5mm} s^{2}}} frac{7.34 cdot 10^{22} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}}{(1.74 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m})^{2}}\
g_{Moon}&=6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg hspace{0.5mm} s^{2}}} cdot 2.42 cdot 10^{10}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg/m^{2}}\
g_{Moon}&=1.62 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s^{2}}
end{align*}
Step 7
7 of 11
Now, we can find the period of pendulum on the Moon by substituting the values in the equation $T=2 pi sqrt{frac{l}{g}}$ hfill textcolor{white}{.}
begin{align*}
T_{Moon}&=2 pi sqrt{frac{l}{g_{Moon}}}\
T_{Moon}&=2 pi sqrt{frac{2.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}{1.62 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s^{2}}}}\
T_{Moon}&=6.98hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{s}
end{align*}
Step 8
8 of 11
The period of pendulum on the Moon is hfill textcolor{white}{.} [ framebox[1.1width]{$ therefore T_{Moon}=6.98 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{s} $}]
Step 9
9 of 11
Similarly, we can calculate the period of pendulum on Earth hfill textcolor{white}{.}begin{align*}
T_{Earth}&=2 pi sqrt{frac{l}{g_{Earth}}}\
T_{Earth}&=2 pi sqrt{frac{2.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}{9.81 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s^{2}}}}\
T_{Earth}&=2.84hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{s}
end{align*}
Step 10

Exercise 99
Step 1
1 of 5
$a)$ In Figures 15-12 and 15-13, we can see the behavior of the frequencies relative if the pipe is open or closed. To find if the pipe should be open or closed, we can observe the resonant frequency in both cases. To find the shorter pipe, we can compare the same frequency from the different pipes.
Step 2
2 of 5
For closed pipe, the frequency is $f_{1}=frac{v}{4L_{closed}}$, and for open pipe the frequency is $f_{1}=frac{v}{2L_{open}}$.
Step 3
3 of 5
How the frequencies are the same, we can write them. Also, we can divide both sides with $v/2$

$$
begin{align*}
frac{v}{4L_{closed}}&=frac{v}{2L_{open}}/ : v/2\
L_{open}&=2L_{closed}
end{align*}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
From the previous equation, we can see the closed pipe is better for a small space. hfill textcolor{white}{.}
Step 5

$b)$ The sound will not be the same. Even if the fundamental frequency $f_{1}$ is the same as the frequencies, higher frequencies are different. Higher frequencies for closed pipe are odd-number, like $3f_{1}, 5f_{1},…$. And, the higher frequencies for open pipe are $2f_{1}, 3f_{1}…$.
Exercise 100
Step 1
1 of 7
$A_{G}$ = $Asin(omega_{G}t)$;
$A_{R}$ = $Asin(omega_{GR}t)$;
Let the two two light rays consist of sinusoidal waves with $A_{G}$ and $A_{R}$ be the amplitudes of green and red light waves respectively at a given point. Both the waves are considered to have the same phase and same maximum amplitude for simplicity.
Step 2
2 of 7
$A_{O}$ = $A_{G}$ + $A_{R}$
According to the principle of superposition, the point where the waves meet, the resultant amplitude is given by the sum of individual amplitudes.
Step 3
3 of 7
$A_{O}$ = $2Asin((omega_{G}+omega_{R})/2)cos((omega_{G}-omega_{R})/2)$
Using trigonometric identity for sin(a)+sin(b)
Step 4
4 of 7
Wave frequency =$( omega_{G}+omega_{R})/2$;
Beat ferquency = $(omega_{G}-omega_{R})/2$
Here frequency refers to the angular frequency of the wave.
Step 5
5 of 7
$(omega_{G}+omega_{R})/2$ = $2pi(560+455)/2$ = 3188.72 rad/s
The values of the frequency(not angular frequency) are taken 560 Hz and 455 Hz for green and red light respectively, from the internet.
Step 6
6 of 7
Resultant frequency is (3188.72)/2$pi$ = 507.50 Hz
$f=omega/2pi$;
This resultant is the frequency of yellow light
Result
7 of 7
Thus, at the point where the beams cross, the resultant wave is the superposition of both and hence we get yellow light. Also according to the principle of superposition, the waves after crossing each other move on as if the other wave was not there. Hence, after the waves cross each other, we again get the beams of their original colors.
