Explanation:
Mirrors consist of reflecting surfaces that reflect light.
Reflection is a phenomenon of light wave (but also of other types of waves) in which a ray of light hits a surface, and then it bounces back into the original medium at a certain angle.
The direction of the reflected ray is determined by the law of reflection:
- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface all lie in the same plane
- The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence (where both angles are measured between the ray and the normal to the surface)
A plane mirror is a type of mirror consisting of a straight surface. As a result, light incident perpendicular to the surface is reflected back exactly in the opposite direction.
The image formed by a plane mirror is:
- The same size as the object
- Virtual (it is located behind the mirror)
- Laterally inverted
- Upright

The axial field is the integration of the field from each element of charge around the ring. Because of symmetry, the field is only in the direction of the axis. The field from an element ds in the ring is
<span>dE = (qs*ds)cos(T)/(4*pi*e0)*(x^2 + R^2) </span>
<span>where x is the distance along the axis from the plane of the ring, R is the radius of the ring, qs is the linear charge density, T is the angle of the field from the x-axis. </span>
<span>However, cos(T) = x/sqrt(x^2 + R^2) </span>
<span>so the equation becomes </span>
<span>dE = (qs*ds)*[x/sqrt(x^2 + R^2)]/(4*pi*e0)*(x^2 + R^2) </span>
<span>dE =[qs*ds/(4*pi*e0)]*x/(x^2 + R^2)^1.5 </span>
<span>Integrating around the ring you get </span>
<span>E = (2*pi*R/4*pi*e0)*x/(x^2 + R^2)^1.5 </span>
<span>E = (R/2*e0)*x*(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 </span>
<span>we differentiate wrt x, the term R/2*e0 is a constant K, and the derivative is </span>
<span>dE/dx = K*{(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 +x*[(-1.5)*(x^2 + R^2)^-2.5]*2x} </span>
<span>dE/dx = K*{(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 - 3*x^2*(x^2 + R^2)^-2.5} </span>
<span>to find the maxima set this = 0, giving </span>
<span>(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 - 3*x^2*(x^2 + R^2)^-2.5 = 0 </span>
<span>mult both side by (x^2 + R^2)^2.5 to get </span>
<span>(x^2 + R^2) - 3*x^2 = 0 </span>
<span>-2*x^2 + R^2 = 0 </span>
<span>-2*x^2 = -R^2 </span>
<span>x = (+/-)R/sqrt(2) </span>
