1. SPHERICAL MIRROR. A spherical convex mirror has a radius of 30 cm. An object with a height of 0.30 m is placed 20 cm from the mirror. Note that in +/- sign conventions, f is negative (–) if the mirror is a convex mirror. a. Calculate the image distance. b. Calculate the image height. c. Calculate the magnification. d. Summarize the properties of the image formed in terms of its LOST (location, orientation, size, and type). e. Draw the set-up using graphical methods (ray diagramming). Apply scale drawing. Make sure that your illustration matches well with what you have calculated and presented in a-d.
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.

a. Calculate the image distance.
b. Calculate the image height.
c. Calculate the magnification.
d. Summarize the properties of the image formed in terms of its LOST
(location, orientation, size, and type).
e. Draw the set-up using graphical methods (ray diagramming). Apply scale
drawing. Make sure that your illustration matches well with what you
have calculated and presented in a-d.
