    Mirrors: By: Bailey Griggs and Katie Kennedy

    This document discusses different types of mirrors and their properties. It describes concave mirrors, which produce magnified real or virtual images depending on the object's distance from the mirror. Convex mirrors produce smaller virtual images behind the mirror. Simple ray diagrams are used to determine image location, size, orientation, and whether images are real or virtual. Real images can be projected while virtual images exist only in the mirror. Evaluation questions at the end test the reader's understanding.

    Mirrors

    By: Bailey Griggs and Katie Kennedy


    Objectives

    • Mirrors
    o Distinguish between Concave and Convex
    mirrors.
    o Describe a simple ray diagram.
    o Distinguish between real and virtual
    images.
    Mirrors Outline
    • Types of Mirrors
    o Convex
    o Concave
    o Spherical
    o Parabolic

    • Convex Mirrors
    o How light reflects
    o Examples
    Mirrors
    • Concave
    o How light reflects
    o Examples
    • Simple Ray Diagram
    o Explanation and Examples
    • Real vs. Virtual Images
    o Real Images
    o Virtual Images
    • Demonstrations
    • Evaluation Questions
    We are going to explore how concave
    and convex mirrors work along with
    describing the simple ray diagrams that
    go along with each one. We will also
    discuss the real and/or virtual images
    that both of these mirrors produce.
    Different Types of Mirrors
    Convex

    Concave

    Spherical
    Straight or Plane mirror
    Concave
    Concave
    • Reflection
    • Curved inward reflective surface
    • Used to magnify
    • Produces Real and Virtual Images
    o depend on object’s distance from the
    surface of the mirror and the focal length.
    Convex
    Convex

    • Reflection
    • Image is small or reduced in size
    • Image is upright
    • Image is located behind the convex
    mirror

    • Image is always virtual


    Convex- smaller image

    Concave- magnified image


    Simple Ray Diagram
    • Tool used to determine
    o location
    o size
    o orientation
    o type of image formed
    • Real or Virtual
    • Straight/
    Plane mirror

    • Extended
    Reflected
    Rays make
    up image

    • Behind the
    mirror
    Simple Ray Diagram for Concave
    Mirrors

    Whether the image is upside-down or


    rightside up depends of the distance
    you are from the mirror and the focal
    Simple Ray Diagram for Convex
    Mirrors
    Real vs. Virtual Images
    • Virtual image
    o Object is less than the focal length of the mirror
    o Can only be seen by looking at the mirror, not
    projected
    • Real Image
    o object is further than focal length of mirror
    o Can be projected and everyone in the room can look
    at it
    Demonstration Time!
    Evaluation Questions
    Evaluation Question #1
    Which mirror produces an image behind
    the mirror, Concave or Convex?

    Convex
    Evaluation Question #2
    True or False: Concave mirrors are used to
    magnify images.

    True
    Evaluation Question #3
    A mirror takes a large space
    and makes it small.

    Convex
    Evaluation Question #4
    An image that is produced that is less than
    the focal length of the mirror is a
    image.

    Virtual
    Evaluation Question #5

    A image can be
    projected.
    Real
    Evaluation Question #6
    Label the diagram with Concave or
    Convex with the correct image.

    Concave Mirror Convex Mirror


    Evaluation Question #7
    The point at which the extensions of the
    reflected rays intersect is the
    of the image being produced.

    a. Bottom
    b. Top
    c. Center
    Evaluation Question #8
    Concave mirrors produce:

    a. Real Images
    b. Virtual Images
    c. Both
