Types of Mirrors
- A mirror is a reflecting surface that creates clear images by reflecting light
- Plane mirrors have flat reflecting surfaces
- Spherical mirrors are curved - either concave (inward curved) or convex (outward curved)
2
Plane Mirrors and Image Formation
- Images in plane mirrors are virtual, erect, and same size as object
- Image distance from mirror equals object distance from mirror
- Lateral inversion occurs - left appears right and vice versa
3
Spherical Mirrors - Terms and Definitions
- Pole (P): Center point of the mirror surface
- Center of curvature (C): Center of the sphere from which mirror is cut
- Radius of curvature (R): Radius of the sphere from which mirror is cut
4
Image Formation by Concave Mirrors
- Object beyond 2F: Image between F and 2F, real, inverted, diminished
- Object at 2F: Image at 2F, real, inverted, same size
- Object between F and 2F: Image beyond 2F, real, inverted, magnified
