  1. Physics Review Convex Mirrors

  2. Curved Mirrors Converging mirror Diverging mirror Converges light Diverges light Brings it together Spreads it out

  3. Convex mirrors Convex mirrors producea very large field of view. NOTE For convex mirrors, the image is always virtual, always located inside the mirror,always upright and always smaller than the object. Click

  4. PRACTICE

  5. Using a ruler, measure the height of the image. Convex Mirrors Slide: Image Click

  6. Convex Mirrors Slide: A 5.00 cm tall candle is placed 30.0 cm in front of a curved mirrorwhose focal length is -50.0 cm. Determine the magnification factor. Step-1: Find di (image distance) A) 1.60 B) -1.63 C) 0.63 D) -0.63 Step-2: Find M (magnification) Click

  7. This ray reflects as if it were coming from point C. This ray reflects parallel to the principal axis yet the incident ray does not appear to go thru F. This ray reflects as if it were coming from point F yet is not parallel to the principal axis. Slide: Convex Mirrors Click

  9. The End … and good luck!
