    This physics assignment discusses the characteristics of different types of mirrors and their ray diagrams. It covers: - Plane mirrors forming virtual, laterally inverted images of the same size as the object. - Convex mirrors having a virtual focus on the inside and forming smaller virtual images. Ray diagrams show rays reflecting through or parallel to the focus. - Concave mirrors having a real focus on the same side and forming real or virtual images, depending on the object's position relative to the focus. Ray diagrams illustrate rays reflecting through or parallel to the focus.

    the ray diagram of a
    plane mirror and its
    characteristic

    Virtual image
    1. From figure 5.3 ,it can be seen that image of the light
    bulb appears to be behind the mirror.
    2. If a screen is placed behind the plane mirror ,no
    image is projected on the screen.
    3. An image,which cannot be formed on a screen,is
    called a virtual image.
    4. A virtual image is produced at the place where the
    reflected rays appear to intersect.

    LATERAL INVERSION OF AN IMAGE


    1. The women is brushing her hair with a brush in her
    right hand in front of a plane mirror but she appears
    to be using her left hand if you look at her image in
    mirror.
    2. This phenomena is called lateral inversion (a left –
    right reversal)
    3. However,the image is still upright (no top-bottom
    vertical reversal).
    4. Besides the orientation,the order of letter is also
    reversed in a virtual image.A fire engine with the
    word ‘ bomba’.The letters are placed in this way so
    that drivers in front can see the letters in the right
    order,i.e. ,’BOMBA’ and the correct orientation in
    their rear-view mirrors.
    1. Ray of light (a) and (b) from the point P of the object
    are reflected by the plane mirror before entering the
    observer’s eye.

    2. The reflected rays, when extended backwards behind


    the mirror appear to intersect at P’ which forms the
    corresponding image of P. This happens to all the
    points of the object and a complete virtual image is
    then formed.

    3. Characteristic of image in a plane mirror :

    (a) The image is virtual .


    (b) The image is upright and laterally inverted.
    (c) The size of the image is the same as the object.
    (d) The distance between image and mirror is the
    same as distance between object and mirror.

    THE RAY DIAGRAM


    OF A CONVEX
    MIRROR AND ITS
    CHARACTERISTIC

    CONVEX MIRROR
    the reflecting surface is on the outside; the object and
    the focus are on opposite sides of the mirror
    (remember-the focus is on the "inside" of the circle);
    the object is located on the outside

    Characteristics of convex mirrors:


    1. the The focal length is negative (because the
    object and the focus are on opposite sides of the
    mirror)
    2. The object and the focus are on opposite sides of
    the mirror (the focus is on the inside of the mirror
    and the object is on the outside)
    3. Only virtual images are formed; all images are
    smaller than object
    Ray Diagrams for convex mirrors:
    1. A ray incident on the mirror that is parallel to the
    principal axis is reflected in a line even with the
    focus (extend the reflected ray behind the mirror
    so that it passes through the focus)
    2. A ray incident on the mirror that passes through
    the focus is reflected parallel to the principal axis
    (extend the reflected ray behind the mirror
    parallel to the principal axis)

    CONCAVE MIRRORS

    the reflecting surface of the mirror is on the inside; the


    object and focus are located on the same side of the mirror

    Characteristics of concave mirrors:


    1. The focal length is positive (because the object and the
    focus are on the same side of the mirror)
    2. The object and the focus are on the same side of the
    mirror (inside the arc)
    3. Real images can be formed by the mirror when the
    object is outside of the focus; an inverted image is
    formed
    4. Virtual images are formed by the mirror when the
    object is within the focus; an erect image is formed
    5. No image is formed when the object is at the focus
    6. When the object is at the center of curvature, an
    inverted image is formed at the center of curvature

    Ray diagrams for concave mirrors:


    1. A ray incident upon the mirror that is parallel to the
    principal axis, reflects through the focus
    2. A ray incident upon the mirror that passes through the
    focus, reflects parallel to the principal axis
