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

2. An object is located 12.5 cm in front of a convex mirror, the image being 7.45 cm behind the mirror. A second object,
twice as tall as the first one, is placed in front of the mirror, but at a different location. The image of this second object
has the same height as the other image. How far in front of the mirror is the second object located?
cm
