A car’s convex rearview mirror has a radius of curvature equal to 15 m. 1)What is the location of the image dII that is formed by an object that is 13 m from the mirror? Follow the sign convention. (Express your answer to three significant figures.) 2)What is the magnification of the image that is formed by an object that is 13 m from the mirror? (Express your answer to three significant figures.)
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.
