Answer

$0.60m$

Work Step by Step

We can use the given values in equation 34-9 to find the distance between the lens and the image, $i$. $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{i}=\frac{1}{f}$ Solving for $i$, we have: $i=(\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p})^{-1}$ $i=(\frac{1}{0.50m}-\frac{1}{1.0m})^{-1}$ $i=1.0m$ Therefore the image formed by the mirror is 1.0m away plus the distance between the mirror and the lens, 2.0m, for a total of 3.0m. We can use the given values in equation 34-9 to find the distance between the lens and the final image after it's reflected by the mirror, $i_f$. $\frac{1}{p_f}+\frac{1}{i_f}=\frac{1}{f_f}$ Solving for $i$, we have: $i_f=(\frac{1}{f_f}-\frac{1}{p_f})^{-1}$ $i_f=(\frac{1}{0.50m}-\frac{1}{3.0m})^{-1}$ $i_f=0.60m$
