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.

Chapter 23, Problem 43P

Video projector An LCD video projector (LCD stands for liquid-crystal display) produces real, inverted, enlarged images of a small LCD picture on a screen (the display picture is upside down in the projector). If the display is located 12.6 cm from the 12.0-cm focal length lens of the projector, what are (a) the distance between the screen and the lens and (b) the height of the image of a person on the screen who is 2.0 cm tall on the display?
