    Concave and Convex

    Mirrors
    Science 10
    Quarter 2
    Lesson 15
    Sir Naz
    Objectives
    1. Distinguish between converging and diverging
    mirrors
    2. Recognize images formed by concave and convex
    mirrors
    3. Identify practical uses of concave and convex mirrors
    RECALL
    What are the characteristics of images
    formed by a plane mirror?
    ANSWERS
    1. Image is virtual (located behind the mirror);
    2. Same size as the object;
    3. Same orientation as the object (upright or erect); and
    4. Same distance from the mirror as the object
    Ways in which Rays are Grouped in Light Beams
    A curve mirror is a reflecting
    surface in which its surface is
    a section of a sphere. There
    are two kinds of curved
    mirrors, the concave and
    convex mirrors.

    LET’s EXPLORE
    Look at your
    reflection at the two
    surfaces of a spoon.
    What do you see?
    Why do you think
    this happens?

    Two Kinds of Spherical Mirrors
    Concave Mirror
    1. Reflective surface bulges away
    from the light source
    2. It reflects light inward to one
    focal point. It is used to focus
    light
    3. It is called Converging Mirror
    because the parallel incident
    rays converge or
    meet/intersect at a focal
    point after reflection.
    4. It is used to focus light.
    Examples
    1. Mirrors used in
    automobile head
    lights
    2. Shaving mirrors
    3. Searchlights.
    4. Microscopes

    Convex Mirror
    • reflective surface bulges towards
    the light source
    • It is called Diverging Mirror
    because the parallel incident rays
    diverge after reflection. When
    extending the reflected rays
    behind the mirror, the rays
    converge at the focus behind the
    mirror
    • Convex mirrors reflect light
    outwards; therefore, they are not
    used to focus light.
    EXAMPLES
    • Rear view mirror in vehicles,
    ATMs

    NOTE:
    1. Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual
    images depending on the distance from the mirror
    to the object and the curvature of the mirror.
    2. Convex mirrors produce only virtual images.
    Which mirror is concave? Which on is convex?

    Images Formed by
    Reflecting Mirrors
    Definition of Terms
    1. Center of Curvature (C)
    ➢The center of the sphere of which
    the mirror is part.
    ➢Its distance from the mirror is
    known as the radius.
    2. Vertex (V)
    ➢center of the reflecting surface of
    the mirror
    3. Principal Axis (P)
    ➢The line drawn through the center
    of curvature and the vertex of the
    mirror
    Definition of Terms
    4. Focal Point/ Principal Focus (F)
    ➢The point between the center of the curvature and vertex.
    ➢The focal point (F) of a concave mirror is the point at which a parallel
    beam of light is "focused" after reflection in the mirror.
    ➢For a convex mirror the focal point is the point from which light
    appears to have originated after reflection from the mirror.

    NOTE:
    Its distance from the mirror is known as the focal length (f).
    C F V V F C
    NOTE
    • Consider a ray of light parallel to
    the principal axis of a concave
    mirror. After reflection, this ray
    will pass through the focus of
    the mirror.

    • This ray follows the law of


    reflection that The normal to
    the mirror surface at (D) must
    pass through the center of
    curvature C as the normal must
    be a radius of the sphere of
    which the mirror forms a part.
    Extending What We Know?
    1. What type of mirror do dentists usually use to clearly see the
    images of our teeth? Why?
    2. What kind of curved mirror do you see in most of the department
    stores? Why do they use such kind of mirror?
    Answers
    • A dentist’s mirror is a concave mirror because the image appears
    larger or magnified, making it easier for the dentist to see the details
    of the object (teeth). This happens because the object (teeth) is
    located between the mirrors focal point and the vertex or optical
    center of the mirror.

    • Most of the department stores use convex mirrors because it gives a


    wider range of view.
    Knowledge Check
    True or False
    1. The center of curvature is the point where reflecting rays
    from incident rays parallel to the principal axis converge.
    2. Concave mirrors are also known as converging mirrors.
    3. A concave mirror produces both real and virtual image.
    4. Convex mirrors are used in car headlights.
    5. Vertex is the center of the reflecting surface of the mirror
