LATERAL INVERSION
- The inversion you experienced is not caused
by the mirror, but by our perception of the
mirror image.
CURVED MIRROR
- The reflecting surface is a section of sphere.
CONCAVE MIRROR
- Light rays converge at one point after they
strike and are reflected from the surface.
- A.k.a converging mirror
CONVEX MIRROR
- Reflected surface bulges towards the light
source.
- A.k.a diverging mirror
- Virtual
- Upright
- Same size
- Behind the mirror
REAL IMAGE
- Inverted
- Formed infront of the mirror
- Size depends on the location of the object with
respect to the mirror.
VIRTUAL IMAGE
- Upright
- Formed at the back of the mirror
- Size depends on the size of the mirror
- virtual, upright
- formed at the back of the mirror
- same size, distance
-laterally reverse
- Virtual - Real
- Upright - Inverted
- Formed at the back - Formed infront of the
of mirror mirror
- Size of image is bigger - Size of image is smaller
than the object than the object
§ CONCAVE MIRROR
The characteristics of the images formed in the
concave mirror depends on the location of the
object.
- Virtual - Real
- Upright - Inverted
- Formed at the back - Formed infront of the
of mirror mirror
- Size of image is bigger - Size of image is smaller
than the object than the object
§ RAY DIAGRAM
- method used to predict the characteristics of
image formed in curved mirrors.
