When an object is located very far away from a convex mirror, the image of the object is formed 25 cm behind the mirror. Calculate where an image would be formed when the object (height 5cm) is placed 11.0 cm in front of the mirror. Is this image magnified, upright or inverted and is it real or virtual? Justify your answer.
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.
