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

Problem
The figure below shows a mirror and two points A and B on a grid. Can a light
ray originating from point A reach point B by reflecting off the mirror? If so, draw
the path of the light ray. If not, draw the path of the light ray that passes as close
to point B as possible.

A water fountain is at the center of a circular pool as shown in Figure P1.59. A student walks around the pool and measures its circumference C.

An object 1.50 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.167 cm high. (a) What is the magnification? (b) Where is the image? (c) Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea. (Note that this technique is used by optometrists to measure the curvature of the cornea for contact lens fitting. The instrument used is called a keratometer, or curve measurer.)
. If the mirror described in the previous problem is used to form an image of the same object now located 16 cm in front of the mirror, what would the new image position be? Assuming that the magnification equations developed for lenses also apply to mirrors, describe the image (size and orientation) thus formed.

Objects viewed through a microscope are placed very close to the focal point of the objective lens. Show that the minimum separation x of two objects resolvable through the microscope is given by x=1.22f0D , where f0is the focal length and D is the diameter of the objective lens as shown below.
To fit a contact lens to a patient's eye, a keratometer can be used to measure the curvature of the corneathe front surface of the eye. This instrument places an illuminated object of known .size at a known distance p from the cornea, which then reflects some light from the object, forming an image of it The magnification M of the image is measured by using a small viewing telescope that allows a comparison of the image formed by the cornea with a second calibrated image projected into the field of view by a prism arrangement. Determine the radius of curvature of the cornea when p = 30.0 cm and M = 0.013 0.
