Problem 5.28

A point source with luminous intensity I0=100 cdI_{0}=100 \mathrm{~cd} is positioned at a distance s=20.0 cms=20.0 \mathrm{~cm} from the crest of a concave mirror with focal length f=25.0 cm.f=25.0 \mathrm{~cm} . Find the luminous intensity of the reflected ray if the reflection coefficient of the mirror is ρ=0.80\rho=0.80

Reveal Answer
I=ρI0f2(fs)2=2.0103 cdI^{\prime}=\rho I_{0} f^{2}(f-s)^{2}=2.0 \cdot 10^{3} \mathrm{~cd}
