Ray Diagram For Convex Mirror

When an object is placed at infinity a virtual image is formed at the focus. The steps involved in drawing ray diagrams are quite simple and easy to understand.

Concave mirror ray diagram.

Ray diagram for convex mirror. Furthermore the image will be upright reduced in size smaller than the object and virtual. A convex mirror forms a virtual imagethe cartesian sign convention is used here. Convex concave mirror ray diagrams.

The ray diagram above illustrates that the image of an object in front of a convex mirror will be located at a position behind the convex mirror. A convex mirror is a spherical mirror whose surface is bulging out. The purpose of drawing ray diagrams is to find the location size direction and type of image formed by a convex mirror.

While making ray diagrams these two rules are important for students. The ray 1 or the light beam 1 that come to the convex mirror are drawn parallel to the principal axis and touch the upper end of the object then reflected by the convex mirror where the beam of light reflects as if from the focal point f. Reflection and curved mirrors.

Plane mirror ray diagram. The size of the image is much smaller as compared to that of the object. Concave mirror convex mirror.

Using a ray parallel to the principal axis and one incident upon the center of the mirror the position of the image can be constructed by back projecting the rays which reflect from the mirror. Description of how to draw ray diagrams for convex mirrors for grade 10 science. Convex concave mirror ray diagrams.

Physical chemistry and chemical physics. It always forms virtual image of a real object. Ray diagrams for convex mirrors.
