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 spherical mirror of focal length f produces an upward image (h'> 0) of size one
third that of an object. The object is placed at 30 cm in front of the mirror. The
value of f is:
