Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.65 Light Interactions with Lenses and Mirrors skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

An engineer must inspect a crack inside a machine and read tiny ruler marks next to the crack. Which optical design best fits the task?

Aa convex mirror to magnify the ruler marks and a concave lens to redirect the view

Ba plane mirror only because flat mirrors also enlarge details

Ca small plane mirror to redirect the view and a convex lens to magnify the ruler marks

Da concave mirror only because it can see around obstacles

Solution & Explanation:The plane mirror helps the engineer see the hidden area, and the convex lens makes the tiny ruler marks easier to read.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A class finds that a screen can catch a bright spot behind a convex lens, but the same screen placed in front of a convex mirror never catches the reflected rays at one point. Which model best explains this evidence?

AThe convex mirror focuses better than the lens, but the screen blocks the focal point.

BBoth tools focus equally well, but only glass can create a bright spot.

CThe screen only works with plane mirrors and not with curved tools.

DThe convex lens makes transmitted rays come together, while the convex mirror makes reflected rays spread apart.

Solution & Explanation:A convex lens is a converging lens, but a convex mirror is a diverging mirror.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A teacher compares a store security mirror and a bathroom shaving mirror. Which statement best explains the difference in their jobs?

AThe security mirror is concave for a wide view, while the shaving mirror is convex for enlargement.

BThe security mirror is convex for a wide view, while the shaving mirror is often concave for an enlarged close-up view.

CBoth are plane mirrors because all mirrors make same-size images only.

DBoth are lenses because mirrors cannot change image size.

Solution & Explanation:Different mirror shapes are useful for different purposes. Convex mirrors widen the view, and concave mirrors can magnify nearby details.
