Ray diagrams can be used to determine the image location, size, orientation and type of image formed of
The reflection of light is what we are getting here.
Let us see one example on it .
Question:-
An object is 15 cm from a spherical concave mirror having a 20 cm radius. Locate the image by means of: the mirror equation?
ANSWER: - 30 cm
The mirror equation expresses the quantitative relationship between the object distance (do), the image distance (di), and the focal length (f). The equation is stated as follows:
1/ do +1/f = 1/ di
f=-r/2= - 20/2=-10 cm
So here di = - 30 cm
Here the image is – 30 cm from the mirror
