Concept explainers

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.

Textbook Question

Chapter 22, Problem 53GP

** There is a light pole on one bank of a small pond. You are standing up while fishing on the other bank. After reflection from the surface of the water, part of the light from the bulb at the top of the pole reaches your eyes. Use a ray diagram to help find a point on the surface of the water from where the reflected ray reaches your eyes. Determine an expression for the distance from this point on the water to the bottom of the light pole if the height of the pole is H, your height is h. and the distance between you and the light pole is l.
