An m resonator consists of two mirrors, one of which is convex with a radius of R1 = 1 m and the other is concave with a radius of R2 = 1.5 m. What is the range of values that can be taken by the distance between the two mirrors to keep the resonator stable?

A two mirror resonator is formed by a convex mirror of radius R1=?1.0 m and a concave mirror of radius R2= 1.5 m. What are the maximum and minimum possible mirror separations, if this is to remain a stable resonator? Draw stable ray configuration for the two marginal cases.

A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 1.02 m. A bouquet of roses is placed 1.55 m from the mirror on its reflecting side. At what distance from the mirror will the roses be focused sharply on a screen? Answer in units of m.
