Concept explainers

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

The real image produced by a concave mirror is observed to be six times larger than the object when the object is 34.2 cm in front of a mirror. Determine the radius of curvature of this mirror.
