Explain how the law of reflection applies to diffuse reflection.

An object is located 4.4 cm in front of a concave mirror with a 24.0-cm radius. Locate the image using the mirror equation.

How far does the image of a car appear behind a convex mirror, with a focal length of -6.0 m, when the car is 10.0 m from the mirror?

Shiny spheres that are placed on pedestals on a lawn are convex mirrors. One such sphere has a diameter of 40.0 cm. A 12-cm-tall robin sits in a tree that is 1.5 m from the sphere. Where is the image of the robin and how tall is the image?

Sunlight falls on a concave mirror and forms an image that is 3.0 cm from the mirror. An object that is 24 mm tall is placed 12.0 cm from the mirror. a. Sketch the ray diagram to show the location of the image. b. Use the mirror equation to calculate the image position. c. How tall is the image?

A 3.0-cm-tall object is 22.4 cm from a concave mirror. If the mirror has a radius of curvature of 34.0 cm, what are the image position and height?

A dentist uses a small mirror with a radius of 40 mm to locate a cavity in a patient’s tooth. If the mirror is concave and is held 16 mm from the tooth, what is the magnification of the image?

The outside rearview mirrors of cars often carry the warning “Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.” What kind of mirrors are these and what advantage do they have?
