If the radius of curvature of the mirror in diagram A is 15 cm and the object which is 10 cm long is placed 20 cm away from the mirror, then the location of the image is 12 cm and the size of the image is 6 cm. 1. What is the location of the image? (between F and C, at C etc.) 2. What is the orientation of the image? (inverted or upright) 3. What is the size of the image? (reduced, same, bigger) 4. What is the type of the image? (real or virtual)
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.
If the radius of curvature of the mirror in diagram A is 15 cm and the object which is 10 cm long is placed 20 cm away from the mirror, then the location of the image is 12 cm and the size of the image is 6 cm.
