7. Convex Mirrors

8. Concave Convex “converging” mirror “diverging” mirror

9. Convex Mirrors Surface of mirror is curved outward Spreads out light rays (“diverging” mirror) Produces a virtual image that is upright and smaller than the object Surface of mirror is curved outward Spreads out light rays (“diverging” mirror) Produces a virtual image that is upright and smaller than the object

10. Convex Mirrors

12. Ray Diagrams for Convex Mirrors Ray 1: travels parallel to the principal axis and reflects through the focal point

13. Ray Diagrams for Convex Mirrors Ray 2: travels towards the focal point and reflects parallel to the principal axis

14. Ray Diagrams for Convex Mirrors The image appears where the (virtual) reflected rays appear to intersect

15. Remember: The image for a convex mirror is always virtual, upright and smaller!
