The convex mirror produces a virtual image that is three fourths the size of the object. a) Determine the image distance if the object is 45.0 cm in front of the mirror (include the correct sign) b) Determine the focal length of the mirror (include the correct sign) and sketch a ray diagram to illustrate your solution.
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.
The convex mirror produces a virtual image that is three fourths the size of the object.
a) Determine the image distance if the object is 45.0 cm in front of the mirror (include the correct sign)
b) Determine the focal length of the mirror (include the correct sign) and sketch a ray diagram to illustrate your solution.
