Important Questions on Mirror Equation and Focal Length

HARD
IMPORTANT

Wrap a rubber ball of diameter 12 cm completely with an aluminium foil and make the surfaces smooth. Where will be the image of an object kept 12 cm away from the centre of the ball? Is the image real or virtual?

A shaving mirror of focal length 72 cm is kept in a beauty clinic. A man uses it standing 18 cm away from the mirror. At what distance will the image be formed? Is the image real or virtual? What is the magnification of the image?

A motorcyclist observes a car coming from behind with a magnification 16. If the actual distance between the car and the bike is 30 m calculate the radius of curvature of the mirror.

IMPORTANT

Imagine that a spherical mirror gives a 5 times magnified and inverted image. The distance between the object and image is 5 m. If so determine whether the mirror is concave or convex. How much will be the focal length of the mirror?
