Real vs Virtual Images • Concave Mirror • Image in front • Image is Real • Light rays converge • Use a Card
Real vs. Virtual Images • Concave Mirror • Image behind mirror • Image is virtual • Appears to converge
C f Concave Mirrors Incoming Parallel rays reflect: through the focal point!
C f Concave Mirrors Rays through (or from) f reflect: parallel!
C f Concave Mirrors Rays through C reflect: back through C!
C f Convex Mirrors Incoming parallel rays reflect: away from focal point!
C f Convex Mirrors Rays towards focal point reflect: parallel! Note: Only the red lines are used to locate the image
C f Convex Mirrors Rays towards C reflect: back away from C!
Find the Image • R = Region • S = Size • O = Orientation • T = Type of Image
Image Characteristics Concave and Convex
Concave: • Object at center of Curvature
Concave • Object between C and F
Concave • Object between F and Mirror
