Construct 3 scaled ray diagrams using mirrors with an 8.0 cm radius of curvature. Clearly label each diagram identifying the radius of curvature, the focal point, the object and the image formed. 1) A real image with a concave mirror. 2) A virtual image with a concave mirror. 3) A virtual image with a convex mirror.
Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.
