A small bead 2.75 [mm] in size is located 21.0 [cm] from the center of a concave spherical mirror with radius of curvature of 16.0 [cm] along the optical axis. Consider the system in the previous item, but this time the concave spherical mirror is replaced by a convex spherical mirror of the same radius of curvature. What is the location, height, and orientation of the image of the bead?
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.
A small bead 2.75 [mm] in size is located 21.0 [cm] from the center of a
concave spherical mirror with radius of curvature of 16.0 [cm] along the optical axis.
Consider the system in the previous item, but this time the concave spherical
mirror is replaced by a convex spherical mirror of the same radius of curvature. What is the
location, height, and orientation of the image of the bead?
