Chapter 5: Q8DQ (page 1151)
For a spherical mirror, if s = f , then s' = , and the lateral magnification m is infinite. Does this make sense? If so, what does it mean?
Short Answer
Yes, it makes sense that m is infinity and is also infinity.

34.19 A person swimming 0.80cm below the surface of the water in a swimming pool looks at the diving board that is directly overhead and sees the image of the board that is formed by refraction at the surface of the water. This image is a height of 5.20 m above the swimmer. What is the actual height of the diving board above the surface of the water?
It has been proposed that automobile windshields and headlights should have polarizing filters to reduce the glare of oncoming lights during night driving. Would this work? How should the polarizing axes be arranged? What advantages would this scheme have? What disadvantages?
