Textbook Question
Chapter 24.3, Problem 2bTH
A very small, very bright bulb is placed for from a semi−cylindrical mirror. The bulb is located on the axis of the mirror. Some light rays from the distant bulb are shown in the diagram below.
- Is there a well−defined focal point for the (entire) mirror?
If so: | Identify and label the focal point on the diagram. Explain how you used your ray diagram to determine your answer. |
If not: | Identify and label the approximate portion of the mirror for which a focal point is well defined. Identify and label the focal point for this portion of the mirror. Explain how you used your ray diagram to determine your answers. |
