The radius of curvature of a spherical convex miror is 20 cm. 1) Describe the image formed when a 10-cm tall object is positioned 20 cm from the mirror. Calculate the image distance. Follow the sign convention. (Express yor answer to two significant figures). 2) Is the image real of virtual? 3) Calculate the image height hI. (Express yor answer to two significant figures). 4) Is the image upright or inverted? 5) Describe the image formed when a 10-cm tall object is positioned 50 cm from the mirror. Calculate the image distance dI. Follow the sign convention. (Express yor answer to two significant figures).
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.
