Problem Set 02

The document outlines a series of problem-solving tutorials for the Higher College of Food Science and Agri-Food Industry for the academic year 2025/2026. It includes five problems related to optics, such as determining image positions and characteristics for various types of mirrors and light rays. Each problem requires specific calculations, diagrams, and reflections on the nature of images formed by mirrors.

REFLECTION

PROBLEM 1
We consider the scenarios below:

1. Specify the positions of the object, A, and of its image A'.


2. Specify the nature of A and that of A'.
3. build the reflected beam.

PROBLEM 2
A man is 1.80 m tall. How long should a mirror be, when placed 1.20 m in front of him, in order to
provide him with a full-length view of his reflected image? Diagram the rays.

PROBLEM 3
As shown in Fig bellow, a light ray IO is incident on a small plane
mirror. The mirror reflects this ray upon a straight scale SC which
is 1.0 m distant and parallel to the undeflected mirror MM. When
the mirror turns through an angle of 8° and assumes the position
M′M′, across what distance on the scale will the spot of light
move? (This device, called an optical lever is useful in measuring
small deflections).

PROBLEM 4
An object that is 2.0 cm high is 10 cm from a convex mirror that has a radius of curvature equal to 10 cm.
(a) Locate the image.
(b) find the height of the image.
(c) Is the image upright or inverted?
(d) Is the image larger or smaller than the object?

PROBLEM 5
A concave spherical mirror has a focal length of 10 cm.
1) Draw the principal axis and represent the mirror. Clearly mark the focal point (F) and the center of
curvature (C).
2) For each of the following object positions, draw a complete ray diagram showing the formation of the
image. In each case, use at least two principal rays to determine the image position:
a) Object placed beyond the center of curvature.
b) Object placed between the center of curvature and the focus.
c) Object placed at the focus.
d) Object placed between the focus and the pole.
3) For each case (a, b, c, d), indicate:
• The position of the image.
• Whether the image is real or virtual.
• Whether it is upright or inverted.
• Whether it is larger, smaller, or the same size as the object.
