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.

Problem 6: You are looking for a mirror that will enable you to see a 3.4-times magnified virtual image of an object that is placed 4.2 cm from the mirror’s vertex. A concave mirror will be used Part (b) What should the mirror’s radius of curvature be, in centimeters?
You have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q(the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 1.45m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 4.11m, what is the focal length of the mirror? The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.
