This document discusses mirrors and images in mirrors. It asks questions about different types of mirrors including:
- Shaving mirrors which are usually convex to provide a wider field of view.
- Makeup mirrors which have two sides - convex and flat - to provide different views.
- Curved side mirrors on cars which provide a wider field of view but can sometimes show a distorted view.
- Dentists use curved mirrors to provide a better view of back teeth and areas that would otherwise be difficult to see directly.
It also provides data on the relationship between object and image distances in a concave mirror and asks questions about how the image would change for different object positions and distances.

4. a) If you were designing a shaving mirror, would you make it
concave or convex? Explain your answer. b) Why do some makeup mirrors have two sides? What do the different sides do? How does each side produce its own special view? c) How does a curved side mirror on a car produce a useful view? How can this view sometimes be dangerous? d) Why does a dentist use a curved mirror?

5. a) A student found the real image of a light bulb in a concave
mirror. The student moved the light bulb to different positions. At each position, the student measured the position of the image and the light bulb. The results are shown in the table on the left. Draw a graph of this data. b) Make a general statement to summarize how the image distance changes as the object distance changes. c) If the object were twice as far away as the greatest object distance in the data, estimate where the image would be. d) If the object were only half as far from the mirror as the smallest object distance in the data, estimate what would happen to the image. 6. A ball is hung on a string in front of a flat mirror. The ball swings toward the mirror and back. How would the image of the ball in the mirror change as the ball swings back and forth? 7. a) A ball is hung on a string in front of a concave mirror. The ball swings toward the mirror and back. How would the image of the ball in the mirror change as the ball swings back and forth? b) How could you use this swinging ball in your light show? 8. Outdoors at night, you use a large concave mirror to make an image on a card of distant auto headlights. You make the image on a card. What happens to the image as the car gradually comes closer?
