You borrow a friend's makeup mirror in order to get a small piece of sawdust out of your eye. You notice that when your eye is 26.0 cm from the mirror, the image is magnified by a factor of 4.20 and has the same orientation as your eye (i.e. it is not inverted relative to your eye). Determine the radius of curvature of the mirror.
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.
