At an intersection of hospital hallways, a convex spherical mirror is mounted high on a wall to help people avoid collisions. The magnitude of the mirror’s radius of curvature is 0.45 m. (a) Locate the image of a patient located 8 m from the mirror. 0.219 m in front of the mirror 0.219 m behind the mirror 0.189 m behind the mirror 0.189 m in front of the mirror (b) Indicate whether the image is upright or inverted. 0.0273556231 (c) Determine the magnification of the image. 3.6556 -3.6556 0.0274 -0.0274
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.
At an intersection of hospital hallways, a convex spherical mirror is mounted high on a wall to help people avoid collisions. The magnitude of the mirror’s radius of curvature is 0.45 m.
(a) Locate the image of a patient located 8 m from the mirror.
0.219 m in front of the mirror
0.219 m behind the mirror
0.189 m behind the mirror
0.189 m in front of the mirror
(b) Indicate whether the image is upright or inverted.
