Inajulikana:
Urefu wa fokasi (f) = sentimita 5
Umbali wa kitu (do) = sm 10
Suluhisho :
Formation of image by concave mirror :

The image distance :
1/di = 1/f – 1/do = 1/5 – 1/10 = 2/10 – 1/10 = 1/10
di = 10/1 = 10 sentimita
Umbali wa picha ni 10 cm.
The magnification :
m = –di / do = -10/10 = -1
1 means that the image is the same as the object.
The minus sign inaonyesha that the image is inverted. If the sign is positive than the image is upright.
2. A 5-cm-high object is placed in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 20 cm. Determine the image height if the object distance is 5 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm.

Formation of image by concave mirror :

Umbali wa picha (di):
1/di = 1/f – 1/do = 1/10 – 1/5 = 1/10 – 2/10 = -1/10
di = -10/1 = -10 sentimita
The minus sign indicates that the image is virtual or the image is behind the mirror.
Ukuzaji wa picha (m):
m = -di / do = -(-10)/5 = 10/5 = 2
Ishara ya kuongeza inaonyesha kwamba picha imesimama wima.

Umbali wa picha (di):
1/di = 1/f – 1/do = 1/10 – 1/30 = 3/30 – 1/30 = 2/30
di = 30/2 = 15 sentimita
The plus sign indicates that the image is real or the image is 15 cm in front of the mirror, on the same side as the object.
Ukuzaji wa picha (m) :
m = -di / do = -15/30 = -0.5
Ishara ya minus inaonyesha kwamba picha imegeuzwa.
The image is 0.5 smaller than the object.

The radius of curvature (r) = sm 20
Urefu wa fokasi (f) = r/2 = 20/2 = 10 cm
Alitaka : Umbali wa kitu (do)
Suluhisho:
m = - di / do
4 = – di / do
- di = 4 do
di = – 4 do
1/f = 1/do + 1/di
1/10 = 1/do + 1/4do
4 / 40 = 4 / 4do + 1/4do
4 / 40 = 5 / 4do
(4)(sekunde 4) = (5)(40)
16 do = 200
do = 12.5cm
The object distance = 12.5 cm.

Umbali wa kitu (d)o) = sm 10
The focal length of the concave mirror (f) = 15 cm
Suluhisho:
A. The image distance (di)
1/f = 1/do + 1/di
1/sikui = 1/f – 1/sikuo = 1/15 – 1/10 = 2/30 – 3/30 = -1/30
di = -30/1 = -30 sentimita
The negative sign indicates that the image is virtual or the image is behind the mirror.

Urefu wa fokasi (f) = 20 cm
Inayohitajika: The image magnification (M)
Suluhisho:

1/sikui = 1/f – 1/sikuo = 1/20 cm – 1/60 cm = 3/60 cm – 1/60 cm = 2/60 cm
di = 60/2 cm = 30 cm
The magnification of the image (M) :
M = di/do = 30 cm / 60 cm = 1/2 times
6. Kama object is placed 6 cm from a concave mirror, the image distance is 12 cm as shown in figure below. Whhat is the image distance if the object is moved from the original position 1 cm away from the mirror.
Inajulikana:
Umbali wa kitu (d)o) = sm 6
Umbali wa picha (d)i) = sm 12
Inayohitajika: if the object distance (do) = 7 cm then the image distance is …
Suluhisho:
1/f = 1/do + 1/di = 1/6 + 1/12 = 2/12 + 1/12 = 3/12
f = 12/3 = 4 cm
The focal length is positive, means that the focal point is real or the rays pass through the point.
The image distance :
1/sikui = 1/f – 1/sikuo = 1/4 – 1/7 = 7/28 – 4/28 = 3/28
di = 28/3 = 9.3 sentimita
7. A dentist observes and checks the patient’s teeth using a mirror with an 8 cm radius. In order for the hole to be seen clearly by the doctor, what is the distance between the patient’s teeth and the mirror?
A. less than 4 cm in front of a concave mirror
B. less than 4 cm in front of a convex mirror
C. more than 4 cm in front of the concave mirror
D. more than 4 cm in front of the convex mirror
Inajulikana:
Radius of mirror (r) = 8 cm
The focal length of mirror (f) = r / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4 cm
Inayohitajika: The distance between the patient’s teeth and the mirror
Suluhisho:
The mirror used is a concave mirror or a convex mirror? In order for the tooth hole to be clearly visible by the doctor, the mirror used should be able to enlarge the image of the tooth and the image must be upright. Convex mirror always produces inverted images and the size of the image is smaller than the size of the object. Conversely a concave mirror can produce an upright image if the object distance (d) is smaller than the focal length (f). If the object distance is greater than the focal length (f) then the concave mirror produces an inverted image.
The focal length (f) of the concave mirror is 4 cm, therefore the patient’s teeth should be less than 4 cm in front of a concave mirror.

8. A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 24 cm. If the object is placed 20 cm in front of the mirror then determine the properties of the image.
A. Real, upright and enlarged
B. Real, inverted and enlarged
C. Virtual, upright and enlarged
D. Virtual, inverted and smaller
Inajulikana:
Radi ya curvature (r) = 24 cm
Focal length (f) = R/2 = 24/2 = +12 cm
The focal length of the concave mirror is positive or real because the light passes through the focal point of the mirror.
Object distance (d) = 20 cm
Inayohitajika: Sifa za picha
Suluhisho:
Image is virtual or real? Calculate the image distance (s’):
1/d + 1/d’ = 1/f
1/d’ = 1/f – 1/d
1/d’ = 1/12 – 1/20
1/d’ = 5/60 – 3/60
1/d’ = 2/60
d’ = 60/2
d’ = 30 cm
The image distance signed positive means that the image is real because it is passed by light.
Image enlarged ? Upright or inverted? First calculate the image magnification (M):
M = -d’ / d = -30/20 = -1.5
M > 1 means the image is enlarged, M has a negative sign means an inverted image. So the image properties are real, inverted, enlarged.

9. A spherical mirror produces an image has size 5 times greater than the object on a screen, 5 meters away from the object. The mirror is…..
A. concave with the focal length of 25/24 m
B. convex with the focal length of 25/24 m
C. concave with the focal length of 24/25 m
D. convex with the focal length of 24/25 m
Inajulikana:
Magnification of image (M) = 5 times
The distance between object and image = 5 meters
Suluhisho:
The size of the image produced by a convex mirror is always smaller than the size of the object, therefore, the mirror is a concave mirror.
Object distance (d) = x
Image distance (d’) = x + 5
Image magnification (M) = 5 times
The formula of image magnification :

The formula of the focal length (f) :
