An object 1.55 cm high is held 2.95 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.175 cm high.
a) What is the magnification?
b) What is the image distance in cm?
c) Find the radius of curvature in cm of the convex mirror formed by the cornea.
Given that,
Height of the object, = 1.55 cm
Height of the image, = 0.175 cm
Object distance from cornea, u = 2.95 cm
a) Magnification of the convex mirror (m )
Magnification of the mirror is defined as the ratio of image height to object height
Therefore Magnification, m = 0.1129
b) Images distance from the mirror ( v.)
Magnification of the convex mirror is also expression as the negative ratio of image distance to object distance
v = -0.333
c) Radius of curvature of convex mirror (R)
We know the mirror equation,
Where f is the Focal length of the mirror
By substituting the values of v and u
Therefore, Focal length, f = -0.376 cm
Radius of curvature is twice the Focal length of mirror. So radius of curvature of convex mirror,
R = 2 * f
R = 2 * (-0.376)
R = -0.752 cm
Radius of curvature, R = -0.752 cm

An object is placed 9.10 cm in front of the cornea. (The cornea is thin ans has approximately parallel sides so that the reflection that occurs as light travels from air to cornea to aqueous humor is essentially the same as though the aqueous humor were directly in contact with the air. The aqueous humor has index of refraction n = 1.34 and the radius of curvature of cornea is 7.8 mm.) (a) What is the image distance for the...

GOAL Calculate properties of a convex mirror. PROBLEM An object 3.00 cm high is placed 20.0 cm from a convex mirror with a focal length of magnitude 8.00 cm. Find (a) the position of the image, (b) the magnification of the mirror, and (c) the height of the image STRATEGY This problem again requires only substitution into the mirror and magnification equations. Multiplying the object height by the magnification gives the image height. (A) Find the position of the image....
