Assume that the distance from your eyes to your toes is 165 cm. You are standing 200cm in front of an infinitely large flat, upright mirror. a. Draw a ray diagram for the rays from the top of your head and from your toes to your eyes. b. Draw a virtual image of your body. How tall is the image? How far is it from the mirror? c. Show on the diagram what part of the mirror can be covered so you still see the image. d. Use a ray diagram to determine how far it is from your eyes to the image of your toes.
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.
