Analyze the following questions and answer: a) Right-angled mirrors produce three images of the object. Which of the following statements is/are true regarding the image located in the middle? when observing the middle image, the light is reflected twice before reaching the eye, the middle image is at the same distance from the mirror as the object the middle image is a vertical image the middle image will exhibit an inversion from left to right relative to the object the magnification of the middle image is -1 the middle image is the same size as the object the middle image is a real image b) The waves that remain on the string (choose one to answer): they cancel each other, do not change phase, do not reflect, adopt a shape that does not vary with time
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.
Analyze the following questions and answer:
a) Right-angled mirrors produce three images of the object. Which of the following statements is/are true regarding the image located in the middle?
- when observing the middle image, the light is reflected twice before reaching the eye,
- the middle image is at the same distance from the mirror as the object
- the middle image is a vertical image
- the middle image will exhibit an inversion from left to right relative to the object
- the magnification of the middle image is -1
- the middle image is the same size as the object
- the middle image is a real image
b) The waves that remain on the string (choose one to answer): they cancel each other, do not change phase, do not reflect, adopt a shape that does not vary with time
a) Let's analyze each statement regarding the middle image produced by right-angled mirrors:
1. When observing the middle image, the light is reflected twice before reaching the eye.
- True. In a right-angled mirror setup, light reflects off the mirror surface twice before reaching the observer's eye.
2. The middle image is at the same distance from the mirror as the object.
- True. The middle image in a right-angled mirror is equidistant from the mirror as the object, forming a symmetrical arrangement.
3. The middle image is a vertical image.
- True. The middle image is vertically oriented and has the same orientation as the object.
4. The middle image will exhibit an inversion from left to right relative to the object.
- True. In a right-angled mirror, the image is laterally inverted, meaning it appears reversed from left to right compared to the object.
