Q19DQ
Question
Can an image formed by one reflecting or refractingsurface serve as an object for a second reflection or refraction?Does it matter whether the first image is real or virtual? Explain.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
Yes, it valuable whether the first image is real or virtual.
1Step 1: Definition of reflection
The term reflection may be defined as the bouncing back of the rays of light when they fall on obstacle.
2Step 2: Explain the reason of question
Because the first image concept helped the direction of travelling rays either form or towards a real image or appearing to come from virtual image, when they reach the second surface.
Hence,yes, it valuable whether the first image is real or virtual.
