1. Compare and contrast the images formed by concave and plane mirrors.

Plane mirrors always produce virtual images which are upright and located behind
the mirror; they are always the same size as the object
Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images; they can be upright (if
virtual) or inverted (if real); they can be behind the mirror (if virtual) or in front of
the mirror (if real); they can also be enlarged, reduced, or the same size as object.
2. Identify the means by which you can use a concave and/or a plane
mirror to form a real image.
Only a concave mirror can be used to produce a real image; and this only occurs if
the object is located at a position of more than one focal length from the concave
mirror.
Plane mirrors never produce real images.
3. Identify the means by which you can use a concave and/or a plane
mirror to form a virtual image.
A plane mirror will always produce a virtual image. A concave mirror will only
produce a virtual image if the object is located in front of the focal point.
4. Identify the means by which you can use a concave and/or a plane
mirror to produce an upright image.
A plane mirror will always produce an upright image. A concave mirror will only
produce an upright image if the object is located in front of the focal point.
5. Identify the means by which you can use a concave and/or a plane
mirror to produce an inverted image.
Only a concave mirror can be used to produce an inverted image; and this only
occurs if the object is located at a position of more than one focal length from the
concave mirror.
Plane mirrors never produce inverted images.
6. Are all real images larger than the object?
No. Real images can be larger than the object, smaller than the object, or the same
size as the object.

Question #1: If an object is outside the focal point on a concave mirror, the image
will be
The correct answer is real and inverted.
Question #2: Images formed by concave lenses are
The correct answer is virtual.
Question #3: A 20 cm tall object has a 40 cm tall virtual image. What is the
magnification?
The correct answer is 2
Question #4: A convex lens has a focal length of 25.5 cm. If an object is placed 72.5
cm from the lens, the image's distance from the lense will be
The correct answer is 39.3 cm
Question #5: Which type of mirror produces an image that is always erect, always
the same height as the object, and always virtual?
The correct answer is Plane
Question #6: A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 1.6 m. The focal length
is
The correct answer is 0.80 m.
The focal length is always 1/2 the length of curvature.
Question #7: The bending of light as it travels from one medium into another is
called
The correct answer is refraction.
Question #8: The law that describes the relationship between the angle of incidence
and the angle of reflection is called
The correct answer is the law of reflection.
Question #9: If your face is 62 cm in front of a plane mirror, where is the image of
your face located?
The correct answer is 62 cm in back of the mirror
Question #10: Images created by convex mirrors are always
The correct answer is smaller than the object.
