Image formation of concave and convex mirrors.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A concave lens is thinner at the inside and thicker at the outer ends of the lens. It is called a diverging lens.
A convex lens is thicker at the inside and thinner at the outer ends of the lens. It is called as converging lens.
Light rays passing through a concave lens can be sketched as follows:
Light rays passing through a convex lens can be sketched as follows:
Conclusion:
Hence, the light rays can be sketched differently for both concave and convex mirrors as shown in the diagrams.
