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 man standing 1.50 m in front of a shaving mirror produces an inverted image 20.8 cm in front of it. How close to the mirror should he stand if he wants to form an upright image of his chin that is twice the
chin's actual size?
