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.

Chapter 17, Problem 35A
To determine

Whether avery sensitive photographic film can detect a virtual image or not.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

When a photographic film is placed by the student at the position of virtual image, the rays do not converge at this position. Therefore, no image is formed at that position.

Since, there is no formation of image, therefore student will not get any picture.

Conclusion:

Thus, the student fails by believing that a very sensitive photographic film can detect a virtual image.
