Ray Diagrams- Concave Mirror A certain concave, spherical mirror has a focal length of 53.0 cm. If the object is 42 cm high and is situated 155 cm in front of the concave mirror, determine the following using the mirror and magnification equations: (a) Image distance (b) Magnification of the image (c) Is the image real or virtual, upright or inverted, larger or smaller. (d) provide a rough sketch of the diagram
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.
Ray Diagrams- Concave Mirror
A certain concave, spherical mirror has a focal length of
53.0 cm. If the object is 42 cm high and is situated 155
cm in front of the concave mirror, determine the
following using the mirror and magnification equations:
(a) Image distance
(b) Magnification of the image
(c) Is the image real or virtual, upright or inverted,
larger or smaller.
(d) provide a rough sketch of the diagram
