Multiple Choice
Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
Short Answer
17. Describe the reflected image of a flat mirror in terms of distance, height, real or virtual, and reversed or not.
Problem
18. A certain radio wave has a frequency of 2.0 × 10 Hz. What is its wavelength?
19. A concave mirror with a focal length of 18.0 cm forms a real image at 26.0 cm from the mirror’s surface
along the principal axis. How far is the corresponding object located from the mirror’s surface?
20. A 1.5 cm high image of a candle is formed by a convex mirror whose focal length is 8.0 cm. The virtual
image is 3.00 cm from the mirror’s surface. The image’s magnification is +0.25. Draw a ray diagram to
determine the position and height of the corresponding object. Use the equation for magnification to confirm
the results of your diagram.
21. A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of 20.0 cm. A candle that is 10.0 cm tall is placed 30 cm
in front of the mirror. Draw a ray diagram to find the image distance and height. Confirm the results of your
diagram with the mirror equation and the equation for magnification.

SHORT ANSWER
17. ANS:
The reflected image of a flat mirror is virtual, appears to originate from a distance behind the mirror that is
equal to the object’s distance in front of the mirror, has the same height as the object, and is reversed.
