a hyperbolic mirror used in some telescopes has the property that a light ray directed at the focus will be reflected to the other focus. if the focus of the hyperbolic mirror has coordinates (12,0). find the vertex of the mirror if its mount at the top edge of the mirror has coordinates (12,12)
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.
