Surfaces of a hubcap


A dedicated sports car enthusiast polishes the inside and outside surfaces of a hubcap that is a section of a sphere. When she looks into one side of the hubcap, she sees an image of her face that is 30.0cm in back of the hubcap. She then flips the hubcap over and sees another image of her face 10.0cm in back of the hubcap. Assume that the object distance is the same in both cases (i.e., her face is the same distance from the hubcap regardless of which way it is turned). NOTE WELL: The figure below does not show this so that figure is not to scale. Hint: you will need to use both cases simultaneously. a) How far is her face from the hubcap? b) What is the radius of curvature of the hubcap. c) In each of the two cases, calculate the magnification of the image?
