In a beauty parlor, a customer sits halfway between two plane mirrors separated by a distance of 2.0 m. Each mirror forms a series of images as a result of successive reflections from each mirror. The image formed by one mirror will be the object for the other mirror. Find the distances of the first and second images of the customer formed by each mirror. Mirror A : ___________ Mirror B: ___________ ***distances are measured from each mirror and behind it.
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.
