Vertical Flat Mirror
36:02, trigonometry, numeric, > 1 min, nor-
mal.
001
Hint: A ray diagram would be helpful.
Determine the minimum height of a vertical
at mirror in which a person 70 in. in height
can see his or her full image.
Correct answer: 35 in..
Explanation:
In the gure, the mirror is labeled AB.
A ray from the womans foot F strikes the
bottom of the mirror at B, with an angle
equal to and proceeds to the womans eye.

T
F
M
The two right triangles EBM and FBM
are identical, since they share the common
side MB and angle . Therefore
EM = MF =
1
2
EF
which is also the distance BC. Similarly, a ray
from the top of the womans head T strikes
the top of the mirror at A and proceeds to
her eye. The same line of reasoning as above
leads to the conclusion that
DA =
1
2
TE
Thus the length AB of the mirror is
1
2
(TE +
EF), which is one half the womans height.
Note that the mirrors bottom edge must be
exactly
1
2
EF from the oor for a full-height
image to be possible. Note also that the
conclusions reached here are valid regardless
of how far she stands from the mirror.

A virtual image indicates that the sign of
the magnication is positive and the image
is erect. A concave mirror indicates that the
sign of the focal length is positive.
Since the image is erect and the magnica-
tion is positive,
M =
q
p
= 1.91 (1)
q = M p = 1.91 p . (2)
Since p > 0, q < 0 and |M| > 1 , Eq. 2
implies that || = p q . Consequently, the
given distance between object and image is
= p q
= p +M p
= (M + 1) p (3)
= 28.2 cm.
Solving Eq. 3 for p and Eq. 2 q, we have

Convergent Lens f > 0

Basic Concepts: A virtual image indi-
cates that the sign of the magnication is
positive and the image is erect. A convergent
lens indicates that the sign of the focal length
is positive.
Since the image is erect and the magnica-
tion is positive,
M =
q
p
= 1.92 (1)
q = M p = 1.92 p . (2)
Since p > 0 and |M| < 1 , so Eq. 2 implies
that || = p q . Consequently, the given
distance between object and image is
= p q
= p +M p
= (M 1) p (3)
= 8.8 cm.
Solving Eq. 3 for p and Eq. 2 q, we have
p =
