Concept explainers

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.

An object of height 3 cm is placed at 25 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 20 cm. Behind the lens there is a concave mirror of focal length 20 cm. The distance between the lens and the mirror is 5 cm. Find the location, orientation and size of the final image.
(i) An object is plated at a position p f from a concave mirror as shown in Figure CQ39.12a, where f is the focal length of the mirror. In a finite time interval, the object is moved to the right to a position at the focal point F of the mirror. Show that the image of the object moves at a speed greater than the speed of light. (ii) A laser pointer is suspended in a horizontal plane and set into rapid rotation as shown in Figure CQ39 12b. Show that the spot of light it produces on a distant screen can move across the screen at a speed greater than the speed of light. (If you carry out this experiment. make sure the direct laser light cannot enter a person's eyes.) (iii) Argue that the experiments in parts (i) and (ii) do not invalidate the principle that no material, no energy, and no information can move faster than light moves in a vacuum. Figure CQ39.12
What are the differences between real and virtual images? How can you tell (by looking) whether an image formed by a single lens or mirror is real or virtual?

Which is true of a virtual image? (7.4) (a) It is always formed by a convex lens. (b) It can be formed on a screen. (c) It is formed on the object side of a lens. (d) It cannot be formed by a concave lens.
The end of a solid glass rod of refractive index 1.50 is polished to have the shape of a hemispherical surface of radius 1.0 cm. A small object is placed in air (refractive index 1.00) on the axis 5.0 cm to the left of the vertex. Determine the position of the image.
The object in Figure P23.52 is mid-way between the lens and the mirror, which are separated by a distance d = 25.0 cm. The magnitude of the mirrors radius of curvature is 20.0 cm, and the lens has a focal length of 16.7 cm. (a) Considering only the light that leaves the object and travels first toward the mirror, locate the final image formed by this system. (b) Is the image real or virtual? (c) Is it upright or inverted? (d) What is the overall magnification of the image? Figure P23.52

A person walks into a room that has two flat mirrors on opposite walls. File mirrors produce multiple images of the person. Consider only the images formed in the mirror on the left.
