A spherical mirror is to be used to form an image 4.50 times the size of an object on a screen located 4.20 m from the object. a) Is the mirror required concave or convex? concave convex (b) What is the required radius of curvature of the mirror? m (c) Where should the mirror be positioned relative to the object? m from the object
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.
