You need to go back to Earth! So you decided to send a beam to the Earth by using a large spherical mirror and a small thin lens out of what you could find. Your plan was to collect the sunlight (assume a parallel beam) with your large spherical mirror, and use the thin lens to create a parallel concentrated beam as in the figure. If the radius of the spherical mirror is 1.82 m and the focal length of the thin lens is 11.0 cm, then what should the distance between the mirror and the lens be? spherical mirror thin lens distance here? final beam (orange) sunlight (yellow) 80 cm 171 cm 193 cm 102 cm
