The following problem must be solved making the modifications indicated below. Please read carefully. The figure below shows a thin converging lens for which the radius of curvature have magnitude R1 and R2 respectively. The lens faces a concave spherical mirror that has a radius of curvature of magnitude R. to. Suppose the lens focuses are at a distance F from the lens. Determine its refractive index. b. The lens and mirror are separated by a distance d. An object is placed at a distance L to the left of the lens. Determine the position and magnification of the final image as seen by the eye in the figure. c. Is the image upside down or up? Clearly justify your answer. Modification: Change the converging lens to a diverging lens and assign numerical values to the problem parameters. The questions to be answered are the same (a, b and c). Clearly include the equations used and indicate all of the steps that are necessary to solve the problem. R1 = 40 cm R2 = 90 cm F = 30 cm L = 45 cm D = 90 cm
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.
