A point object is 10 cm away from a plane mirror, and the eye of an observer (with pupil diameter 5.0 mm) is 20 cm away. Assuming the eye and the object to be on the same line perpendicular to the mirror surface, find the area of the mirror used in observing the reflection of the 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 point object is 10 cm away from a plane mirror, and the
eye of an observer (with pupil diameter 5.0 mm) is 20 cm away.
Assuming the eye and the object to be on the same line perpendicular
to the mirror surface, find the area of the mirror used in
observing the reflection of the point
