Concept explainers

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.

Question

A concave mirror (f = 39 cm) produces an image whose distance from the mirror is one-third the object distance. Determine (a) the
object distance and (b) the (positive) image distance.
