Question
A child is standing in front of a magic mirror. She finds the imageof her head bigger, the middle portion of her body of the same sizeand that of the legs smaller. The following is the order ofcombinations for the magic mirror from the top
Solution
The magic mirror is likely made up of a combination of concave, plane, and convex mirrors.
-
The top part of the mirror, which makes the child's head appear bigger, is a concave mirror. Concave mirrors produce magnified (larger) and virtual images when the object is within the focal length, which is the case here.
-
The middle part of the mirror, which keeps the size of the middle portion of her body the same, is a plane mirror. Plane mirrors always produce images that are virtual, upright, and of the same size as the object.
-
The bottom part of the mirror, which makes the child's legs appear smaller, is a convex mirror. Convex mirrors always produce images that are virtual, upright, and smaller than the object.
So, the order of combinations for the magic mirror from the top would be concave, plane, and convex.
