Answer #1

This is due to diffraction. Light (ray) bends when reflected though edge of mirror. So We will observe a blury image.

    Following will be two mirrors and two lenses. We are going to find the image distance and the image height for each object. 1. Draw the ray diagrams for each situation properly as accurate as possible. 2. Calculate the image distance with the following data, and compare with drawing. f=4.0 cm d_o=12.0 cm h_o=3.0 cm Remember the sign of f depends on the mirror/lens type. 3. Calculate the magnification and image height, and compare with your drawing. Do this for...

    You could not see the image of the text when the lens to object-distance was less than the focal length, but you could see it when it was equal to or greater than the focal length. What does this tell you about the eyes ability to process diverging rays, parallel rays, and converging rays?

    Optics and Converging & Diverging Lenses 1. What is the relationship between the curvature of a lens (thick vs thinner converging lenses) and its light-bending power? 2. Focal length: is there a trend in the image distances vis a vis focal lengths as the object distance gets larger? What happens to the thin lens formula when object distance is very large? 3. In the compound lens formula, 1/fcomp = 1/f1 + 1/f2, why does a longer focal lens will not...

    I posted this previously, but the answer I received was unclear and a concept we have yet to talk about in my physics class. Can someone else give me a more clear explanation? For part of our lab we drew an arrow on the face of a flashlight (that did not have a curved lens). We then shined the flashlight onto the wall and observed that the image was very blurry. the question asks "You may see a shadow of...
