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 24.6, Problem 3aTH

Two thin convex lenses and an object are arranged as shown below. Two rays from the tip of the object are drawn in order to determine the location of the image produced by lens 1. Lens 2 is placed so that one of its focal points coincides with the location of the image produced by lens 1 Chapter 24.6, Problem 3aTH, Two thin convex lenses and an object are arranged as shown below. Two rays from the tip of the

Treating the image produced by lens 1 as an object for lens 2, draw two rays from the tip of this image that pass through lens 2. (Note that one of the principal rays cannot be drawn in this case.)

Using either geometry or trigonometry, show that these two principal rays are parallel on the right side of lens 2. (Hint: Look for congruent fight triangles in your ray diagram.)
