Answer:

Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).

A man standing 1.54 m in front of a shaving mirror produces a real, inverted image 15.2 cm from it. What is the focal length of

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The focal length is 16.86 cm and the distance of the man if he wants to form an upright image of his chin that is twice the chin's actual size is 8.43 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance u=1.54 m =154 cm

Image distance v = 15.2 cm

Magnification = 2

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{15.2}+\dfrac{1}{-154}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{347}{5852}$

$f=16.86\ cm$

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of magnification

$m= \dfrac{-v}{u}$

Put the value into the formula

$2=\dfrac{v}{u}$

$v = -2u$

Using formula of for focal length

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{16.86}=\dfrac{1}{u}-\dfrac{1}{2u}$

$\dfrac{1}{16.86}=\dfrac{1}{2u}$

$2u=16.86$

$u=\dfrac{16.86}{2}$

$u=8.43\ cm$

Hence, The focal length is 16.86 cm and the distance of the man if he wants to form an upright image of his chin that is twice the chin's actual size is 8.43 cm.
