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.

Answer to Problem 27R

The correct option is B.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A lens is made of transparent plastic or glass which can have convex surface or concave surface. This is an optical device which focus or disperse the light incident on it.

The incident rays of light on a lens converge or disperse by the phenomenon of refraction.

The refraction arises when incident media and refractive media have different refractive indices.

Therefore, the main work of the lenses is to refract the light.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the correct option is B.
