A concave mirror is placed 10 cm in front of an object. The image measures 6 cm, and the image-mirror distance is 40 cm. Solve completely and find: a) radius of curvature in meters or cm and focal length in meters or cm b) magnification and the size of the object in cm c) Say if the image is real or virtual, if the image is reduced, the same size or enlarged and if the image is erect or inverted
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.
