Concept explainers

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.

Question

A 1.8-m-tall man stands 2.0 m in front of a vertical plane mirror.

1)How tall will the image of the man be? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
