A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 22cm. Draw the ray diagram, interpret the image formed and determine the magnification of the image for the following situations. a. If the object is placed at 24 cm in front of the mirror b. If the object is placed at 15 cm in front of the mirror c. If the object is placed at 5 cm in from of the mirror d. If the object is placed at the focal point
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 concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 22cm. Draw the
ray diagram, interpret the image formed and determine the
