A tall tree is growing across a river from you. You wouldlike to know the distance between yourself and the tree, as well asits height, but are unable to make the measurements directly. However, by using a mirror to form an image of the tree and then measuring the image distance and the image height, you cancalculate the distance to the tree as well as it's height. Suppose that this mirror produces an image of the sun, and the image is located 0.9682 m from the mirror. The same mirror is then used to produce an image of the tree. The image of thetree is 1.0638 m from the mirror. (a) How far away is thetree? (b) The image height of the tree has a magnitude of 0.16m. How tall is the tree?
