    This document discusses the key properties and ray diagrams of convex mirrors. It notes that convex mirrors always form virtual images located inside the mirror. The document explains that as the object moves from infinity to the pole of the mirror, the image moves from the focal point behind the mirror to the pole. Important terms are also defined, including the pole, center of curvature, radius of curvature, principal axis, principal focus, and focal length. Convex mirrors are diverging mirrors that reflect light outward due to differences in the normal at each point on the curved surface.

    DIAGRAMS OF CONVEX
    MIRROR
    • Convex mirrors always form virtual images.
    This is because the focal point and the centre
    of curvature of the convex mirror are
    imaginary points and that cannot be reached.
    So the image is formed inside the mirror and
    cannot be projected on a screen.
    • Between infinity and pole of the
    mirror: Between ...
    • At infinity: At focus, F, behind the mirror
    • Position of the object: Position of the image
    • A convex mirror is a type of spherical mirror in which
    the reflecting surface is the bulged out portion of the
    sphere, i.e. in this type of mirrors the reflecting
    surface bulges out towards the incident light source.
    Because of their shape the incident light is reflected
    outwards (diverged), thus they are also called
    diverging mirrors and thus they are not used for
    focusing light. Both the laws of reflection are valid at
    each and every point on the mirror. The normal in
    this case is drawn normal to the tangent at the point
    of incidence, i.e. it is drawn by joining the centre of
    curvature of the mirror to the point of incidence.
    Thus, the divergence of the rays after reflection is
    because the normal to the surface differs at each
    point on the mirror.
    • Some Important Terms
    • 1. Pole: It is the centre of the reflecting surface of a
    spherical mirror. It lies on the surface of the mirror
    and it is usually denoted by P.
    • 2. Centre of curvature: The centre of the sphere
    formed by the reflecting part of a spherical mirror is
    called the centre of curvature. It is generally denoted
    by C. this is not a part of the mirror and it lies
    outside the reflecting surface of the mirror. For a
    convex mirror, it lies behind the mirror.

    • 3. Radius of curvature: It is the radius of the sphere
    formed by the reflecting part of the sphere. It is
    represented by R
    • 4. Principal axis: It is the straight-line parring
    through the pole and centre of curvature of the
    spherical mirror. This is normal to the mirror at its
    pole.
    • 5. Principal focus: The incident rays coming
    parallel to the principal axis after reflection
    appear to diverge from a common point on the
    principal axis, this point is called the principal
    focus of a convex mirror. It is usually denoted by
    F.
    • 6. Focal length: It is the distance between the
    pole and the principal focus of the mirror. It is
    denoted by
