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.
Suppose a man stands in front of a mirror as shown in the figure below.
His eyes are 1.65 m above the floor, and the top of his head is 0.12 m higher. Find the height above the floor of the top and bottom of the smallest mirror in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet.
top m
bottom m
