Question
Now, consider these general statements, regarding the three different kinds of mirrors. Again, select all that apply.
(a)The concave mirror only produces real images while the plane and convex mirrors only produce virtual images
(b)If the image is virtual, moving the object closer to the mirror always causes the image to move closer to the mirror
(c)With a convex mirror, the image height can be increased by (i) increasing the object height, (ii) moving the object closer to the mirror, or (iii) increasing the magnitude of the focal length
(d)Keeping the object unchanged, switching from the concave mirror to the convex mirror to the plane mirror will not change the blue ray
(e)The convex mirror always produces an image smaller than the object; the plane mirror produces an image the same size as the object; and the concave mirror always produces an image larger than the object
(f)If you double the height of the object, the image height also doubles
(g)All rays of light that leave the tip of the object and reflect off the mirror pass through the tip of the image (or can be extended back to do so)
Explanation / Answer
(b)If the image is virtual, moving the object closer to the mirror always causes the image to move closer to the mirror .
(c)With a convex mirror, the image height can be increased by (i) increasing the object height, (ii) moving the object closer to the mirror, or (iii) increasing the magnitude of the focal length .
(g)All rays of light that leave the tip of the object and reflect off the mirror pass through the tip of the image .
