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

A concave mirror forms an image on a wall 3.20 m from the mirror of the filament of a headlight
lamp. If the height of the filament is 5.0 mm and the height of its image is 35.0 cm, Calculate
a. the position of the filament from the pole of the mirror.
b. the radius of curvature of the mirror.
A sperical mirror, X when placed at 12 cm from an object produces an erect image one-third as
large as that object.
a) What kind of spherical mirror described above should be?
b) Calculate the radius of the curvature of this mirror.
