Question #a824f
1 Answer
A converging lens will adjust the focal point in front the mirror, moving it closer to the mirror
Explanation:
rays that were travelling parallel to the principle axis will now travel at angle converging towards the principle axis - this results in a more extreme angle of reflection that crosses the principle axis earlier than it would have without the lens. The point where rays converge (focal point) would occur at a new location closer to the mirror as a result.
The image formed will adjust accordingly, dependent on the location of the object. an object beyond the focal point will still create a real, inverted image, but it will be smaller and closer to the mirror. An object between the mirror and the focal point will still create a virtual, erect image but it will be larger and further away from the mirror.
