1) Is there a focal length associated with a flat mirror? Moreover, what is it? Why not, if not? b) What is a plane mirror's magnification? 2) a) A spherical mirror creates an image. The object's magnification is - 2.0. Is the picture virtual or real, inverted or upright? The mirror is either convex or concave. Which side of the mirror does the reflection appear?
Applications Of Reflection Of Light
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.
