Textbook Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 3bT
Turn the large sheet of paper over (or obtain a fresh sheet of paper). Place the mirror in the middle of the sheet of paper, and place a nail in front of the mirror. On the paper, mark the locations of the mirror and the nail.
On the paper, draw several lines of sight to the image of the nail.
How can you use these lines of sight to determine the location of the image of the nail
Use the method of parallax to determine the location of the image of the nail.
Do these two methods yield the same location of the image (to within reasonable uncertainty)?

Preliminary Questions
1. Is the image projected on a movie screen real or virtual? What about the image of yourself seen
in a bathroom mirror?
2. Hold a shiny spoon in front of you. What differences do you notice about the image of your
face seen in the convex and concave sides?
3. Where are the images formed by each side of the spoon? In front or behind the spoon? (Try
the parallax method. Look at the image of an overhead light. Hold the tip of a pencil where
think the image is. Move your head from side to side. If the image and pencil tip appear to
you
move relative to each other, adjust the position of the pencil back and forth until they appear to
move as one.)
Look at the central transparent area of someone’s eye, the pupil, in normal room light. Estimate the diameter of the pupil. Now turn off the lights and darken the room. After a few minutes turn on the lights and promptly estimate the diameter of the pupil. What happens to the pupil as the eye adjusts to the room light? Explain your observations.
Describe the difference between a real image and a virtual image?
Can your eyes tell the difference?
How can you tell the difference on a ray diagram?
How could you tell the difference between a virtual image and a real image experimentally?
