14.1. Images in a Plane Mirror http://www.ck12.org
(a) toward which light rays converge but do not pass through.
(b) from which light rays diverge but do not pass through.
(c) from which light rays diverge as they pass through.
(d) toward which light rays converge and pass through.
(e) with a ray normal to a mirror passing through.- An object is 2.0 m in front of a plane mirror. Its image is:
(a) virtual, inverted, and 2.0 m behind the mirror.
(b) virtual, inverted, and 2.0 m in front of the mirror.
(c) virtual, erect, and 2.0 m in front of the mirror.
(d) real, erect, and 2.0 m behind the mirror.
(e) virtual, erect, and 2.0 m behind the mirror. - If the angle of incidence for an object and a plane mirror is 30°, what is the angle between the object and its
image?
(a) 30°
(b) 60°
(c) 90°
(d) 120°
(e) 180° - If the angle of a car’s windshield is 45° to vertical, what position of the sun is most likely to reflect into
oncoming driver’s eyes?
(a) Low in the sky behind the oncoming driver’s car
(b) Low in the sky opposite the oncoming driver’s car
(c) Directly overhead - A 50. cm tall object is 3.0 m from a plane mirror.
(a) How tall will the image be?
(b) How far from the mirror will the image be?
(c) Will the image be real or virtual?
(d) Will the image be upright or inverted? - Which statement is true about the image produced by a plane mirror?
(a) It appears to be located on the same side of the mirror as the object.
(b) It appears to be larger than the object.
(c) It appears to be inverted relative to the object.
(d) It appears to be reversed left and right. - A light ray strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 80° to the normal. What is the angle that the reflected ray
makes with the surface of the mirror? - A laser beam strikes a plane mirror with an angle of incidence of 38°. What is the angle between the incident
beam and the reflected beam?
- real image:An image that can be projected onto a screen. Therefore, the light that forms the image must
actually pass through the image position. - virtual image:An image that cannot be projected onto a screen. You can only see the image by looking into
the mirror or lens forming the image. The light that forms a virtual image does NOT pass through the image
position.
