Choose true or false for each statement regarding convex mirrors. If an object is placed 4.1 cm from a convex mirror with f = 4 cm, then its image will be enlarged and real. If an object is placed 8.1 cm from a convex mirror with f = 4 cm, then its image will be reduced and virtual. A convex mirror produces a reduced real image when the object is placed just beyond its focal point (Region 2). Choose true or false for each statement regarding the sign conventions for mirrors. Virtual images appear appear behind a mirror and have a negative value for the image distance. The focal length f is positive for convex mirrors. Real images appear in front of a mirror and have a negative value for the image distance.
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.
