An image seen through a convex mirror cut from a sphere of radius 20cm is exactly half size of the object. Where must the object and image be located? Support your work with a ray diagram.
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.
An image seen through a convex mirror cut from a sphere of radius 20cm is exactly half size of the object. Where must the object and image be located? Support your work with a ray diagram.
Hint: Remember that virtual distances are negative when using the mirror equation.
