The Formation of Images by Spherical Mirrors Ray Tracing for a Concave Mirror Ray 1. This ray is initially parallel to the principal axis and, therefore, passes through the focal point F after reflection from the mirror Ray 2. This ray passes through the focal point F and is reflected parallel to the principal axis. Ray 3. This ray travels along a line that passes through the center of curvature C and follows a radius of the spherical mirror; as a result, the ray strikes the mirror perpendicularly and reflects back on itself
The Formation of Images by Convex Mirrors Ray Tracing for a Convex Mirror Ray 1. This ray is initially parallel to the principal axis and, therefore, appears to originate from the focal point F after reflection from the mirror Ray 2. This ray heads toward the focal point F emerging parallel to the principal axis after reflection. Ray 3. This ray travels toward the center of curvature C; as a result, the ray strikes the mirror perpendicularly and reflects back on itself

Sign Conventions for Spherical Mirrors Focal Length f is ___ for a concave mirror. f is ___ for a convex mirror. Object Distance d0is ___ if the object is in front of a mirror (real object). d0is ___ if the object is behind the mirror (virtual object). Image Distance diis ___ if the object is in front of a mirror (real object). diis ___ if the object is behind the mirror (virtual object). Magnification m is ___ for an image that is upright with respect to the object. m is ___ for an object that is inverted with respect to the object.
Example 1 An object is placed 9.00 cm in front of a mirror. The image is 3.00 cm closer to the mirror when the mirror is convex than when it is planar. Find the focal length of the convex mirror (p. 776) Example 2 The radius of curvature of a mirror is 12 cm. A diamond ring is placed in front of this mirror. The image is twice the size of the ring. Find the object distance of the ring. (p. 776)
