Concept explainers
Suppose that a mirror and three lettered cards are set up as in the figure. If a person’s eye is at point P, which of the lettered cards will be seen reflected in the mirror? Explain.
The card that will be reflected in the mirror.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The angle of incident light reflected from the mirror is the same as that of the angle of the incident with the normal.
Explanation:
In the above diagram, the ray approaching the object is the incidence ray and the ray reflected from the point of the incident is the reflected ray and the corresponding angles are incident angle
Conclusion:
The letter card B will be reflected in the mirror from the concept of incidence angle.
