AP Physics 2
13.2 Images Formed by Mirrors
BeginnerMCQMathematicalConceptual17.3k
A horizontal principal axis drawn as a thin line. A convex mirror is positioned vertically, drawn as an arc curving outward toward the left. On the left side of the mirror along the principal axis, two vertical arrows representing objects point upward: Object 1 is located at a distance d1 from the mirror vertex, and Object 2 is located farther to the left at a distance d2 from the mirror vertex, such that d1 < d2. On the right side of the mirror behind the curved surface, a single dot labeled F marks the focal point at a distance |f| from the vertex. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Convex mirror setup with two objects at different distances along the principal axis.
A convex security mirror has a focal length of magnitude \(|f|\). Two identical upright objects, Object 1 and Object 2, are placed on the principal axis in front of the mirror at distances \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) from the mirror surface, respectively, where \(d_1 < d_2\). Which of the following correctly compares the magnitudes of the magnifications \(|M_1|\) and \(|M_2|\) of the images formed by the mirror, and provides a correct justification?
