All waves will reflect and refract in the right circumstances. The reflection and refraction of light explains how people see images, colour and even optical illusions.
Aug 16, 2021 · Explain with ray diagrams the formation of an image using spherical mirrors. Determine focal length and magnification given radius of curvature, distance of object and image. We only have to look as far as the nearest bathroom to find an example of an image formed by a mirror.
Ray diagrams for plane mirrors are a straightforward way to visualize how images are formed by reflection. These diagrams help in understanding the path taken by light rays from an object to our eyes after reflecting off a mirror. Begin by drawing a straight line to represent the plane mirror. Label the line as the mirror.
