Two flat mirrors make an angle of 90.0° with each other, as diagrammed below. An incoming ray makes an angle of 35° with the normal of mirror A. Use the law of reflection to determine the angle of reflection from mirror B. What is unusual about the incoming and reflected rays of light for this arrangement of mirrors

Sketch ray diagrams for a concave mirror showing objects at (a) Do R, (b) Do f, and (c) Do f. Describe how the image changes as the object is moved toward the mirror.
A 3 cm tall object is placed 5 cm in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature 20 cm. Where is the image formed? How tall is the image? What is the orientation of the image?
The following figure shows a light bulb between two spherical mirrors. One mirror produces a beam of light with parallel rays; the other keeps light from escaping without being put into the beam. Where is the filament of the light in relation to the focal point or radius of curvature of each mirror?
An object is placed in front of a converging lens at an object distance of twice the focal length of the lens. Sketch a ray diagram and compare the image and object distances. Repeat with two more ray diagrams, using different focal lengths and still making the object distance twice the focal length. Can you draw any conclusions by comparing the object distance and the image distance?
