1. Find the two locations where an object can be placed in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 46.0 cm such that its image is 3.5 times its size. 2. For each object position in part (1), draw a ray diagram including drawings of the mirror, principal axis, focal point, at least two principal rays (i.e. 2 incident and 2 reflected rays), object arrow, and image arrow. 3. For each of the object positions in part (1), state whether the image is real or virtual, upright or invert
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.
