Two plane mirrors meet at right angles at the origin, as indicated in Figure 26-54. Suppose an L-shaped object has the position and orientation labeled A. Draw the location and orientation of all the images of object A formed by the two mirrors.
Figure 26-54

To draw: The location and orientation of all the images of object
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Figure (1)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The mirror image of the object shows the opposite position with same size and at same distance. This is described by the reflection and total reflection of light.
Explanation:
Formula to calculate the number of images formed when the two mirrors meet at right angle is,
Here,
Substitute
Thus, three images will form by reflection and the image formed by the plane mirror is of same size and at same distance as object but behind the mirror.
The coordinates of the image
The coordinates of the image
The coordinates of the image
The coordinates of the image
Thus, the all images of object

- A capacitor with a capacitance of C = 5.95×10−5 F is charged by connecting it to a 12.5 −V battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery and connected across an inductor with an inductance of L = 1.55 H . At the time 2.35×10−2 s after the connection to the inductor is made, what is the current in the inductor? At that time, how much electrical energy is stored in the inductor?arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question. Thanks.arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question.
