A 4 m tall pole is kept in front of a 2 m long vertical plane mirror. The mirror's lower portion is 6 metres above the ground. The mirror is 2 metres away from the pole horizontally. What is the lowest and highest height at which a guy standing on the same horizontal line as the pole and the horizontal point beneath the mirror may view the image of the top of the pole at a horizontal distance of 4 m (from the mirror)?
Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.
